We had an afternoon out today with Ray and Joan. Went to the roman ruins ( Baelo Claudia) at Bolonia on the way to Tarifa.
Here's a link to the ruins:- http://www.andalucia.com/province/cadiz/bolonia/baelo-claudia.htm
It's an amazing place - was quite a big town with a fish salting factory. Was a link over to Tangier in Morocco - all between the 1st and 6th centuries!!! It was abandoned in the 6th century!!!
The excavation is on-going and unlike in the UK (where it would all be hidden by hoardings) you can see the current work - looking forward to visiting it over the next few years so see the progress being made!
Bolonia village is very nice - tranquil in December but I bet it's busy with surfers in the summer!
