Spain is the Florida of Europe, which means it's known for it's long beautiful beaches. This summer I'll be sharing various pics and ratings of the beaches we sample along the Costa del Sol: our beautiful, sunny southern coast. Yesterday, Matt and I decided to take a short Ferry ride to one of the oldest cities in Europe, Cadiz. The beach is small, but we've been told it's a great one.
It was a long walk since I was navigating and headed us in the complete opposite direction. :) But we finally found it. We could NOT believe how packed it was when we rounded the corner and spotted it!!! Wall to wall sombrillas (beach umbrellas). Believe it or not, we did find a spot and managed to get a couple hours of sun before catching the ferry back home.
How would I rate the Cadiz beach? 2.0 out of 5 stars. It's conveniently located right on the edge of the walkable city and the views are good, but it's the ONLY beach in the city. So, everyone in the city crams it packed on a hot day! You're lucky if you find a spot, and the bay water (lacking waves) feels strangely stagnant and non refreshing. If you're a social person who likes to party, and watch/meet people... this is your beach. If you're looking for quiet crashing waves and not getting covered in the sand of children running by (in the one foot space between your blanket and the next) ... opt for another beach!
