El Puerto: Hola and adios in the same breath
... turns out I disliked and condensed milk for hot chocolate because the Spanish don't 'do' cream like back home. Nice enough beaches and altho warm during the day I experienced no inclination towards taking a dip. Run-down crumbling buildings like those I'd seen in Portugal. Bull fighting arena but don't think it's operational.Half an hour on the ferry took me to Cadiz which is famous for it's well preserved old town. I wasn't ...

Are the white towns prettier b/c they look clean?
... Spain. In front of it is a statue of the famed bullfighter in Spain that Ernest Hemingway wrote about in his books (the names of which escape me right now, except that I know one of them was named Fiesta and it was the last in the trilogy). Apparently, he was friends with the Ordo (?) family and decided to write about them. The family was also said to be good friends with Oscar Wilde. Ronda was the inspiration to many famous artists actually. The illustrator of The ...
