Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming! I'm here!!! After some very smooth travelling I finally arrived in Cádiz, city of sun, light and salt.
Already had my first swim in the sea! I feel like Alegrías should be playing everywhere.
Signing off to go eat the fresh tortilla my landlady Charo has made for me. :)
Update: I did get to hear Alegrías. I was ready to go to bed when I heard flamenco out of my window! I decided to investigate. It turned out that the Peña Juanito Villar right at the Caleta beach (where I live) was hosting the closing night of their "Encuentros Flamencos" series outside. I made it to the second set and got to see Daniel Saltares dance, and la Pitu de Cádiz sing. And a great David Palomar was the final star of the evening. I even have 4 new friends, thanks to María who just chatted me up while I was standing shyly at the bar. She helped me get beer and introduced me to her friends who are really nice.
Full day - good times.
