I sleep well and then I have the best swim ever, before breakfast! Peaceful. So no need for shoulder exercise or meditation! This is a great routine, I should have done it before and will continue for the rest of the week. I have two old farts for friends. A millpond! It is going to hit 27 today... Just ate the biggest croissant ever. Another routine I will get into. Better check out my homework. Today starts with a tour of the old town which is good in parts but politically incorrect too. We dont learn much and would rather be doing Spanish.
We meet at Puerta de la Tierra.
Ack Jose Manual Ramirez
Here is it's history
We first of all stop at the old tobacco factory, right by the port, awaiting shipments from the colonies.
Here is a statue remembering the first women allowed to work in Spain, in the eighteenth century. Suddenly it was convenient to employ women, whose hands were smaller than mens and thus perfect for rolling cigars.
We pass by the entrance to the old Moorish city.
This old mansion house is awaiting a refurb.
The stones in the pavement below have been reused. They were initially ballast in the ships arriving from the Américas.
Plaza de las Flores.
In the past of course, the flowers used to come from the colonies
Later we all meet in the Plaza de Mina and go for tapas.
