Cadiz, Spain – A Walk Along the Sea Wall – Part 2
Toward the end of the walk along the sea wall, there were a few more interesting sights to see.  I’ll cover the “in between” sights in the next couple of posts, but for now…..
La Palma Spa
When one has a “spa day” in Cadiz, it’s really something special!  We didn’t go inside, but the low white buildings, the walkway out toward the water, and the round domed building at the end all seem to be part of the spa.  The area below it is a popular beach that you’ll get a better view of in another post.
Cadiz Cathedral
Altho we didn’t have time to explore the inside of this cathedral, it houses a museum inside containing jewels from the New World.
Moorish Influence
Here’s a closer view of some of the towers of the Cathedral, with the Moorish influence evident.  It is possible to climb up to the top, altho we were warned NOT to time any such climb so that we’d reach the top at noon…..for obvious reasons, as the bells still toll!
Cool Architecture
I just loved the look of the dark streetlights and the white of the cathedral tower, against that fabulous blue sky!  We were very lucky in that most every day (except one), the weather cooperated wonderfully with us!
Bell Tower and Colorful Roof
I had to share this very cool bell tower with you!  I just loved the pattern and colors of the roof of the tower!  It almost seemed whimsical when compared to the formality of the cathedral it was next to!
Enjoy!
