Beautiful photographs! Love the vintage look of them. The style of the era is so classy and fun. Great to see you had this opportunity to travel at that young age and explore alternate cultural signals. Spain is perfect because the high-energy Latin realities make it a vibrant place and ideal for a mental reboot. 💃
We stayed mostly in Andalucia, in sleepy Cádiz. Maybe time has caught up with Cádiz today, but not in 1967. There was nothing dynamic or vital about the city. It was perfect for me, a retreat. Not remotely related to my life. A true escape.
Thanks for reading :)
Ah, yes, a sleepy city would be different than a major center like Madrid or Barcelona. Now it might be different thanks to the explosion in tourism in general.
Yes. Even Seville, which is a short train ride away, was much more vibrant. It is the capital of Andalucia. But Cádiz, and small towns around there, were frozen in time. Hotels on the shore were host to European tourists. These were modern. But in the rest of the city, it seemed time stood still.
I've been to Seville briefly but went on my way to other places like Marbella along the coast 🌞
