Part of the look is achieved through buried electrical cables, by-laws limiting commercialism, whistle clean streets, level sidewalks, narrow &#8220;ersatz&#8217; cobblestone streets ...

... two beautifully restored cities, at least as I recalled it.<br><br>I visited Cadiz in 1996 when I did a home exchange from Ottawa, Ontario to beautiful Marbella on the Costa del Sol in southern Spain.

One was even offended by it, demanding why on earth someone would want to do that. Neither have we met many Asian travellers, it ...

... us some bracelets, we all said the usual "Gras" and shook our heads. On child replied in Spanish... "Por nada!" Thanks for nothing. "Ha," I said, "Now that is a smart child." And of course most kids are bright enough to ask for money if you want to take their pictures. Before Huitzilopochtli and I left for Palenque a few days ago we crouched under an awning to shield ourselves from the rain.
