Eurotrip 10, 2023 – Day 26, Bahia de Cadiz

Standard

Having managed to miss the first Spanish lesson of the New Year, we did finally remember the day of the week and headed to the restaurant for a communal meal of eggs and chips. Nothing fancy about this meal but it was a mere 3 Euros…

Tuesday we drove over to the natural wetlands at Bahia de Cadiz which is located near to San Fernando and is inland from Playa de Camposoto.

Parque Natural Bahia de Cadiz

There is a large visitor centre here but despite Google indicating it was open, this was far from the situation on the ground!

We headed on to the sea front, parked the car and were then able to walk right along the spit of land almost to the port Novo Sancti Petri.

We parked somewhere close to the arrow on the Map below.

Playa La Camposoto

The walk was around 6 miles in total and the route out was along a trail and boardwalk whilst our return journey routed us along the beach.

We managed to record the return leg of the walk here.

Playa de Camposota – this hasn’t weathered well!

On Wednesday we managed an afternoon cycle ride to Trafalgar. An extremely pleasant ride out South from Conil on what we thought was a very calm and still day. It turned out this was because we had the wind behind us. The return journey against the wind in the late afternoon was absolutely freezing cold!

Proof we reached Trafalgar – the lighthouse is in the distance!

Thursday I actually managed to attend the Spanish lesson; it really does appear I’ve forgotten way too much since our visit last year. Shopping and chores in the afternoon!
