Pages from Cádiz

Back to the cruise album now, and I'm quite pleased with the progress I've made. We visited eight different ports and this is the fifth to be scrapped. I'm not doing them in order though, so it was the last one we visited. 

(The numbers are my page count for the year.)

22. Cádiz
Starting with my normal subtitle page, which split the album into sections for each port. I used two photos, one of the city gates and one of a view over the rooftops from Torre Tavira, putting them in opposite corners on L-shapes of patterned paper. 

23. Revisiting

Cádiz was the only port on this trip that we'd visited before. I didn't want to duplicate lots of pages from last time, so I made this one as a summary instead, and it refers back to our previous visit in 2018.

24. Castillo de San Sebastian

This is an old fortress, reached via a causeway, which has recently been opened to the public. I had four 4x6 photos for the page, but they all had quite a lot of sky or sea in them so I cropped them all to 3x6 and stacked them up next to a column of scraps.

25 & 26. Torre Tavira/Views

These were two separate pages in my planning, but they became more like a double once I was working on them. The left side is for a watchtower and the right side has the views from the top. Cádiz is full of these towers which merchants built on their houses so they could see their ships arriving in port. I used a ledger paper which perfectly matches that theme, being headed "Manifest of the Cargo on board the ______ whereof ______ is Master, bound from ______ to ______".

  

27. Teatro Romano  

Cádiz had a Roman amphitheatre which was lost and buried for centuries until it was rediscovered in 1980 when the site was being redeveloped. I have a couple of 4x6s of the seating area and a 3x4 of the passageway which runs behind it.
