While Eva sunburned and Christine read, I was busy people watching. I should also add that I was wearing my reflective sunglasses and hat so no one really knew who or what I was looking at-that's the right way to people watch. People watching at the Cádiz beach taught me a little bit about beach fashion. You see, it's easy to differentiate between European and American men. European men wear speedos or tiny, tight shorts to the beach; the U.S. men wear big board shorts.
Let's play I SPY with this picture! I spy...With my little eye...A medium build man in a blue speedo. Hmm, where do you think he is from?
As for the women, let's just say that there was no fashion...Most beaches in Spain are topless. Sorry, no I SPY games for women.
Cádiz has perfect weather, gorgeous people, hoppin' beaches and great food- sounds like California! The only difference is that Cádiz is a really old city, like ~1100 B.C. old. It's no surprise that Cádiz is the oldest city in ALL OF SPAIN. The city is relatively small, thus, we were able to go sight seeing within 2 hours before the beach. We hit up the cathedral, famous theater, a few monuments, and even did some tourist shopping.

After the heatwave experience in Seville, heading to Cádiz via train was a perfect way to end our stay in southern Spain. Let me also warn you that most restaurants next to the beach close at 5PM and then open up again at 8PM for dinner service. Just remember to prepare yourself for super late dinners!
