We had a great day here in Cartagena, it's only a short drive from the camp ground. Here are a few of the pictures we took. We only had the little camera with us today, so will take the big one next time.
This guy was made to represent all survivors of all terrorist attacks throughout the world. The Spanish have had their share of terrorists, with the Basque Separatist. (a major terrorist threat in Spain) They are responsible for many deaths and injuries to both civilian and Police/military personel.
Cartagena is one of two main Spanish Naval ports, (the other is in Northern Spain) and the THE main Naval port in the Mediteranean. It also has a huge Ship yard, where most of the "Spanish Armada" is maintained and/or repaired. The harbour is shared by civilian ships, and pleasure craft, and is a major destination for the cruise ships that travel the Med.
It really is a pleasant city to wander round. We took an open top tour bus ride to give us a good idea of how the city works.
