This is another town that has changed hands a lot, from Carthaginians to Romans to Moors to Christians. Here, Hannibal prepared his famous elephantine exhibition across the Alps.
We haven't really explored yet beyond a stroll or two. We were very hot and tired after the trip and the very tight squeeze of the moorings.
To our delight the marina has a washing machine, our first since Portimao. Handwashing gets tiring, and is a pain for sheets! Fitting a small washing machine on Roaring Girl is high on our list of priorities, but in the meantime, we are covered in drying clothes and haunting the ablutions block.
On Sunday we are going to Grenada for our long awaited trip to the Alhambra. Very exciting!
