Genealogy Trip - Day 3 and 4

Ruins of the Phoenician-Roman fish market

We spent two more relaxing days in Spain before heading to Norway.  On the third day in Spain, we took a walk in the old town of Almuñecar.  We visited the ruins of a Phoenician-Roman fish market that was discovered not too long ago.  In fact, Almuñecar began as a Phoenician colony named Sexi; it was later occupied by Romans and several other cultures.  Next, we meandered through the botanical park and, coming out of the park, it is a short walk to the new aquarium, which was quite nice.  The facility also had a tunnel where you can see the fish, including sharks, swimming over your head.  It is similar to one I saw at Ripley's Believe It or Not Aquarium in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, during my wedding/honeymoon weekend. Later, that evening, my son took a swim in the pool, and we also played some competitive Ping Pong.  He won.

The next morning, we walked down the hill to the small beach.  It is a quiet pebble beach, and the weather was perfect -- not too hot or cold.  My son enjoyed a swim in the water.  After a nice cafe con leche, we returned to the house to pack, work on some preparations for Norway, and take a nap.  In the evening, we went out for one more tour of the town before calling it a night.
