Cadiz

Ok, so I got out of Seville just in time to hit the cool weather in Cadiz. Not my intention. Seville was literally sweltering, I would equate it to palm springs in the summer with a little more humidity in the city. Is all old stone buildings so of course everything acts like a heat sink and absorbs the heat during the day and then does slowly cools at night. Lots of white stone so high reflectivity. At least I was able to sleep without many incidents, 3 Mosquitoes gave their lives in the process.

I took the 1pm bus, very easy, from the Prado station in Seville to Cadiz. Nice ride and I got to see some of the Spanish country side and the windmills. It is crazy over in Europe, France generates 80% of it's power via nuclear. Spain on the other hand, is the third largest power generator by wind. After the US and Germany, Spain generates 16,800 Megawatts of power via wind (wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_Spain). I'm sure they are second on the per-capita numbers after Germany. So anyways I passed many windmills on the way down to see Cadiz and saw the Atlantic up close for the first time in few years. Also many traditional Spanish farms, they are really like old school compounds, and some have some Moorish architectural influences.

Cadiz thus far is a pretty cool little town. I walked then ran the perimeter battery on Monday night. Not many joggers in Spain, let alone ones doing wind sprints and push-ups. Seems a little slow however Monday was a national holiday and everything was closed I was lucky to find a place open to get some tapas at around 8pm.
