25 Apr (Fri)- Valentin Hotel in Novo Sancti Petri

25 Apr (Fri)- on to the Valentin Hotel in Novo Sancti Petri (NSP), right on the beach: N 36 21.405; W 06 10.158 a suburb of Cadiz. We drove through Cadiz, it was very busy and noisy, wheras NSP was a quiet beach town pre-season, but apparently gets a lot of summer visitors. The hotel was about 7 years old, 550 rooms, multiple pools, bar/cafes & dining rooms, spa, shops and other facilities. It didn't appear on the GPS, and even NSP town didn't, but fortunately the map of Andalusia showed it, and nearby towns. So we got close, then got a tourist map of the area and found the hotel. It was sunny and warm, but very windy, too much to walk on the beach. We ate at the hotel for lunch: beers, mixed green salad, grilled vegetables salad, seafood from the Bay of Cadiz platter. Walked down to the Paseo Maritime, had beer at a cervaceria, bought wine, oranges, loquats for the evening snack. The architecture of the new developments was interesting and looked very nice
