Arcos de la Frontera

Arcos de la Frontera is a delightful town located on a ridge about 45 min. north of Cadiz. There is always lots going on - though it was windy and cold enough at the beginning that our pictures seem to be free of people.

This street probably gets less car traffic.

Another one-way street that isn't if you don't want it to be. This is the second busiest street in the old town.

St. Peter's

The shrine to protect the electricians?
