Drive, drive, drive, all the way home! 

That's exactly what we did!

Day 1: Cádiz to Valencia - 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM - Glorious Sun, all the way! 

Day 2: Valencia to Sète - 9:45 AM to 6:30 PM - Almost all in the FOG !

Spain 2026 Cádiz

This morning, we meandered the streets of Cádiz, in a different direction (but still towards the sea!)

Cádiz Cathedral 

Plaza de la Candelaria 

Sea Wall

This was (sort of) our path...


We went through the Mercado (covered market), but most of it was closed (we assume because it was Monday) - so no photos there.

For more photos, see the Spain 2026 album.

Plaza San Antonio 

Plaza del Mentidero had groups singing all afternoon - click here for a video.

Costumes!

This was the direct route - we had a few unintended detours, of course 🙄

(Yes, I did get a little sunburn!)
