It is early morning and we start taking pictures of the port. We see the occasional high rise building, the sailings boats and the so typical mountains all over the Spanish coast. Walking from our ship to the beach promenade took about 20 minutes. High above us we see Castle Santa Barbara.
In front of the white historical building which houses the Belgian Consulate, stands a statue in the water protecting the small sailboats and yachts behind it. However more important is the 18th century constructed war ship, the Santisima Trinidad. We particularly like the statue on the bow and the decorations at the end of the ship. On the side you still see a few of the 140 canons the ship was armed with.
Het is vroeg in de ochtend als we beginnen foto’s te nemen van de haven. We zien enkele zeldzame hoogbouw, zeilboten en de typisch Spaanse bergen die je overal aan de kustlijn vindt. De wandeling van het cruise schip naar de haven neemt ongeveer 20 minuten in beslag. Hoog boven ons zien we het Santa Barbara kasteel.
Voor het mooie witte gebouw, waarin het Belgische Consulaat gevestigd is, staat een standbeeld in het water. Het beschermd de zeilboten en jachten die er achter liggen. Meer belangrijker is echter het 18 eeuwse oorlogsschip, de Santisima Trinidad. In het bijzonder vonden we het beeld op de boeg en de versieringen op het achtersteven het mooist. Op de zijkant zie je af en toe nog een kanon uit een vuurkracht van 140 waarmee het schip bewapend was.

The front of the ship is so unusual!! But for me, the best is that mountain, with the castle coming up from it. Like both castle and mountain are all one. I would hate to have to drive up there!!
