Well – indeed a fabulous city to visit – nice campsite to stay at at town called Dos Hermanos; half-hourly air-conditioned (very welcome, even at mid to late 20’s) bus within 50 metres of the site for the sum of 1.70eu.
There was a feria day on Wednesday and the obviously proud citizens were already parading about in their traditional finery.
Wanted to see this city, so stayed at the above campsite across the bay at Puerta de Santa Maria and got the water ferry from there – about 30 min crossing for 2.75 euro. Enjoyed doing a 2-hour walking tour around the centre. Can see the naval influences, some of the buildings reminded me somewhat of Plymouth. Worth the visit, and campsite reflecting the european campsite dwelling diversity which is really fun.
Lovely setting for this site, and only 3 – 4 km cycling from Tarifa. These beaches are very much kite-surfing destinations. Tarifa – very pleasant small historic port and walled streets, and town plus area has a more ‘young’ vibe, due to the kite-surfing. Possible to get a ferry across the 15 or so kms to Tangiers. Good accessible motorhome service area/garage including LPG on edge of town with supermarkets, and also motorhome service/repair centre.
