Cadiz<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been back in Spain for a good week now. Now it’s about getting around the southern tip of Gibraltar\/Tarifa as quickly as possible. Winter is approaching and with it some stormy days with heavy seas. There are hardly any touring sailors left. Normally I am the only guest in the ports. It started in Vila Real, but there are no longer any touring sailors in Mazag\u00f3n, Chipiona and here in Cadiz. The last port with touring sailors was Lagos, that was everyone who wanted to go further south to the Canary Islands and then to the Caribbean. Clearly you can see this on marinetraffic.com, nobody wants to go to the Mediterranean any more. The temperatures have also fallen and are usually only in the single digits at night. Only the sun is still quite warm during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the coast as far as Huelva there are sandbanks in front of the marshland, which are consistently developed for tourism. You get the impression that every bit of beach is utilized. After Huelva there are also endless beaches, but they are very lonely. This is not due to the time of year; there are no buildings. Huelva itself is an industrial city, which unfortunately shaped up Mazag\u00f3n. I’ve never seen so much rubbish on the streets (including dog waste) in Spain before. Nevertheless, I stayed here for 3 days to wait for some wind. This seems to be pretty rare here. Unfortunately, even on the way to Chipiona, there was not much sign of the forecast north-westerly wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entrance to Huelva and Mazag\u00f3n. They named the beacon after Juan Carlos I, an insult to his majesty (?) or with wise foresight in view of the accusations that would later be levelled against Juan Carlos I and the proceedings that had been initiated against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening, the view of the riverside road gave me a good impression of Mazag\u00f3n. The next day, however, I saw the rubbish on the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
