CADIZ, SPAIN is the gateway to Seville and is perched on the tip of a thin isthmus and is near the Rock of Gibraltar. This ancient city is the oldest inhabited city of the Western World at over 3,000 years old. CADIZ is Spain's main Atlantic seaport and has a strategic location which was fought over by many major ruling forces, each trying to establish a foothold on the Spanish mainland. Under the powerful reigh of King Ferdinand V and Queen Isabella I, Christopher Columbus set sail for the New World from Cadiz.
Don went on a 3 hour shore excursion and I ventured out from the ship and boarded a 2 decker bus and did a tour of the city.
We returned to the ship and had lunch in the dining room and took a nap as we moved our clocks ahead 2 hours last night!
