Vacation in Spain, Cádiz

From Gibraltar, we drove on to El Puerto de Santa María, the port town we were staying at near Cádiz (our true destination). Our car only had radio, so here's Sophie listening to her own music...


I saw this sign several times on the highway and asked Ian to take a picture of it. Apparently, you can find a variety of modes of transportation on the road there!


We got a little lost trying to find the hotel, but we finally made it just in time to catch one of the last ferries over to Cádiz. I think Sophie loved the ferry ride more than the visit to the town itself!


This is a picture of Sophie pointing out all of the seagulls following the boat. She loved the seagulls!




Some views from the ferry ride:


(This one is an ice factory.)


A view of Cádiz as we pulled in:


We saw a cargo boat from Alexandria, Egypt!


The town was nice, but small, and didn't have too much to do, so we just wandered a little.


Our new camera has a "sunset" setting, but sometimes it makes things look a little creepy. The first picture is on a normal setting, but the second is the "sunset" setting.



Don't you just want to live in a place with an entrance like this???


When it was starting to get dark, we finally found ourselves in a little outdoor market where they were selling fresh churros. If you look closely, you can see me in line here.


And here is Sophie enjoying the churros:

We stopped by the main square before heading back to the ferry, and everything was lit up.

The next day we headed off to Sevilla...I'll post those pictures next!
