Motril, Spain


Early morning rough waters entering the port of Motril caused the Captain to abort our arrival. It was a disappointment to many as the Alhambra in the inland city of Grenada was a highlight.
As the ship sailed on, later in the day we had a surprise daylight crossing out into the Atlantic with Gibraltar on the north side. Close enough to get a good view from upper deck, our geographer, Frank, provided us historical commentary.
The added bonus was arriving in our next port, Cadiz, early evening instead of the next day. Hopping off, we strolled the wonderful narrow cobblestone streets of this mid size city as the sun set.
