Sorry for the long delay in my response. I found your comment in the spam folder. Not sure why. It’s certainly an interesting point.
We didn’t see much of the city, our tour was of the countryside. Maybe next time we stop there, we can explore the city.

Traditionally, buses would pick up visitors right at the harbor here in Cadiz and drive them to neighbouring towns, which used to be considered more interesting. A pity, really, considering that Cadiz has jewels such as an ancient Roman theatre. Things are beginning to change, though, and more tourists are being allowed to step off the cruise and explore Cadiz.

Indeed! I can only imagine the inside will be beautiful after the remodel.

Sounds fabulous!

We always used to fly in the day before the cruise started in case of flight delays. Since Covid, we learned that flying in two days early not only gives us extra insurance, it allows for a full day’s exploration of the departure city. We also plan on two days upon arrival if it’s a port that interests us. Our best extra days were spent on a transatlantic from Rio de Janeiro to Barcelona. We hired a private tour company at both ends and had some great experiences on both ends of the Atlantic.

Indeed!

Yes… same here. We did do a trans-Atlantic to Europe then stayed 10 days longer in England.
That was a fun trip!

And don’t you always remember the best guides, many years later?!
