Visiting Cartaya

To see Visiting Cartaya

My visit to Cartaya was to party in New Year’s eve. I must confess that I almost skipped town, because the hotel was in El Rompido, and the following day was used in Seville. A nightly stop, and it was all.

We visited El Rompido because… we were there – we attended New Year’s eve party in the hotel, and being in the area we had a look at the place, before the planed visit to Seville.

Only a general idea, but… does it deserve more?

Cartaya

The most remarkable monument in the city is Zuniga family’s castle, built in the 15th century and restored about 20 years ago.

​ We saw it at night, and didn’t enter.

We’ve been there in winter, so, the city and El Rompido were both quick visits under a sunny but cold weather.

Personal memories Don’t trust GPS

Our visit to Cartaya started with great fun: My friend José Manuel was navigating, using his GPS that mentioned our Hotel. Leaving Cartaya to El Rompido, the instructions seemed to be accurate until one roundabout where Fernanda saw a signal indicating the hotel to the right, while the GPS ordered us to go straight ahead.”We cannot discuss with GPS” and we went ahead.

A few hundred meters later the GPS relaxed: “You arrived at your destination”.

It was already night, but also easy to understand that we were in an alley working as access to a private garage.​After the big laughs we followed the right way, and arrived easily to the hotel. The following day we were near the alley, and, of course, I had to make a picture of it.
