Cadiz

Some years back we went to Mexico where we took some tours of  the Mayan ruins at Tulum.  The guide there was scathing about the Spanish and in particular Cortez.  Nothing but killers who steal, he said.  Cortez left from Cadiz on two expeditions of conquest. There are huge monuments to him at this end.  This is the oldest inhabited place in Europe, started by the phoenicians 3000 yar ago. There are creepy full size kissing statues in the churches here.
