July 14: Cadiz tip

The city, oldest in Europe,  is located on a long earthen extension out to sea. The Phoenicians, Romans etc treated it as a strategic military point.  The city looks to be built around and over the many subsets of fortress walls. Cadiz also acted as one of the primary cities the Spanish ships from the Americas would return.  There are watch towers built within the city to identify returning ships from the Americas.
