Last time I left off about my backpacking trip through out Europe I was in Sevilla, Spain. While in Sevilla I was staying at my friends apartment, which I used as a home base so I could travel to different cities in Andalucia (the southern region of Spain). My days there would consist of: waking up really early in the morning, my friend would take to the train station, I would take a train to one of the cities she had told me I had to go see, find the tourism both, plan out what I wanted to see, walk around for the majority of the day, then head back home (Sevilla), and walk around some more until my friend could pick me up so I could go to bed, and do the whole thing over again the next day.
The first city on the list was Cadiz, a city right on the Mediterranean. The newer part of Cadiz reminded me of Miami and I wasn't really interested in so I spent most of my day in the older part. The older part of Cadiz is really small with tiny winding brick streets, that I walked around on while getting lost on purpose. The whole time I was there I felt like I was on a set of a movie or in Disney world.
One of the main attractions are the beach and a old fort (Castillo de Santa Catalina) that is located right next to each other, so I worked my way there to check them out. The front was nice but it was very similar to the ones I had see before all throughout the Caribbean in the Americas (probably because the Spanish were the ones who build those too) so it really didn't interest me. But what was cool about the fort was that they used it as a gallery space, which they had beautiful works in, that I got to look at.
I was really excited about this trip to Europe because I really wanted to see Roman ruins, sculpture, and art; later I would get sick of them because there's that stuff every where you go and it lose its wow factor. Except for Roman, the scale there is just amazing.
After a long day in Cadiz, I got back to Sevilla, and had to wait a bit to meet up with my friend. So that gave me some time to capture some more images.
I had always heard about all the Vespas in Europe and they where always showing up on the TV show "American Pickers". Before leaving the states I told my self I wanted to get nice shot of one while I was on this trip. So when I seen the great light on this Vespas I knew this was the shot.
