13 September - Almeria, Spain

Once again, a new port at breakfast, this time Almeria in Spain.
This beautiful old city in the South of Spain was occupied for several hundred years by the Moors, and the main remnant of this period is a Moorish fort called Alcazaba on a nearby hill. We left the ship after breakfast and headed in the general direction of the fort which is visible from the ship.
The view from the fort back to the port was stunning.

Spent the rest of the morning strolling around and checking out some of the shops. As with most of Spain though the shops all close for siesta at around 2 pm and don't re-open till late afternoon.
So, after a couple of beer and coffee stops it was time to head back to the ship.

Tomorrow is a sea day and the next day we reach Malta.
