Andalusan Spain: Cadiz, Arcos de la Frontera & Granada

Arrived in Cadiz after several days at sea....a beautiful, relaxed coastal town with a long history of occupations, dating back top Phoneticians and Romans (Hercules was said to have planted one foot in Cadiz and is the city founder). While in port, classes are canceled , so we spent several days in Cadiz then rented a car and drove to Granada via the white village of Arcos de la Frontera. Andalusia's scenery was beautiful...although apparently hardship is more acutely felt in this region of Spain, which has the highest unemployment rates in the nation.
