WiFi was available on the ship but was very expensive (50 pence a minute!) so we left the older girls in McDonalds to use their free WiFi for a while and walked up to the square by the cathedral where a flamenco band was playing.
The 11th century Moorish fortress, the Alcazaba.
The bull ring. A very impressive structure, though I can't get my head round the concept of bullfighting as entertainment. Neither could Rose when we tried to explain it to her.
The view from our carriage down a tree shaded avenue.
We only had the morning in port so decided to see the town by taking a horse and carriage tour. There was a kind of equine taxi rank outside the cathedral.
I have no idea what this building was, but I liked the picture ... Aha! Looking at Wikipedia I think it may be the Palacio de la Aduana, the Fine Arts and Archaeology Museum.

I've never understood bullfighting as entertainment either. 50p a minute for wifi? ouch!
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty tho'.
Don't you love Wikipedia and Google? I'm scrapbooking my husband's 2006-2007 deployment and do you think he could remember any of the sites he visited? "Castles in Naples" on a Google search took me right to the one I was looking for, and Wikipedia gave me all its details!
