colombian exchange christopher columbus brought certain things in his voyages over to the americas and they brought things back from the americas including a lot of different plants and so that's why you see here in the costa del sol all these different plants that you might not see elsewhere in spain so here we go you guys here's a sign that says these palm trees are from california mexico uh so like i said not native to spain they are from the americas and they came here in historical times when the colombian exchange was established here in this botanical garden here in cadiz we're going to

imagine if you explored this this was like brand new and you had just explored this for the first time check it out all right off to the next stop let's go all right so check this out you guys this is the old colonial port of cadiz and out there is a little peninsula an island where the spanish had built up fortresses to defend against the invading english pirates all throughout the 16th 17th and 18th century so this has a lot of war history and ultimately this was the port that was the main port that served between the americas and the old world of spain and going to the new world of the americas so just look at these fortifications here paris is a fortified city dating back 3 100 years or over starting with the phoenicians the busy gods the romans and then um the muslims and then finally the christians and the catholics okay all right you guys this is the castillo santa catalina check out this old spanish architecture you see these uh church styles a lot and the route from mexico to the americas up through california the spanish from the english so that is quite interesting really cool inside here we're surround like a little island-esque future let's go check it out let's see if we can get some views from the ocean wow look at that inside of old fortress more than 400 years old let's check this out you guys fortress we're gonna get some views of the ocean up here we're on a fortress this is awesome one of two main fortresses here in this fortified city of cadiz let's check it out wow this is free to come to you guys fresh air you guys the ocean breeze so it looks like we can go inside this chapel let's check it out kapia in spanish all right we have stairs here awesome a little chapel pretty cool huh something interesting are these like marble statues here you guys look at these white buildings now patricia and look at this white sand beach this is playa caleta i think and she's from uh from colombia travis guys back there making videos so we're gonna head up this way you guys we're gonna go to the other castle which is there in the distance castillo day san sebastian all right you guys we're going to castillo de san sebastian la caleta which refers to the beach let's go travel attica patricia let's go get pumped up awesome guys this is awesome cannot wait to do this wow what a party let's check it out paseo fernando quinones gazpacho gazpacho i love gazpacho gazpacho wow mira la playa look at this wow caddies is amazing guys okay you guys you see the the tide is very low right now it's early so as the day goes on the tide's slowly gonna rise but look at the coast from this area so that is the modern caddis that way you guys that's the there's a really nice wide beach there it's more commercialized of course and we are still in the historic center and we are at like the end of a peninsula here which has a fortress as i've said we're gonna go check it out let's go okay wow you guys we're uh getting close to this castle out here on this little island the tide seems to be rising i found travel at a guy guys what did you see did you see the castle this is no i have not been there but this is amazing guys this is amazing just think you can walk all the way up here during the day when the tide is low and then the tide comes in at night and this all turns into a seed this is interesting amazing to me it's the atlantic ocean you guys so let's go patricia nuestro ultra youtuber amigita all right guys so we can't get inside the castle of san sebastian it's locked but i can walk down on the tide here so this is really cool all right i got a maybe a few hours before the tide goes up and what i want to do is get out here to show you guys the atlantic ocean check out the walls wow incredible so this castle is a lot bigger than it looks once you get up close to it check it out you guys like how the spanish built these castles right into the into the seabed here is incredible and here you see this is like the old foundation of what was possibly other castles because you gotta remember with all the naval battles and bombardments by foreign invaders here over the years in the 16th 17th 18th century they often had to reconstruct and so these are the remnants hundreds of hundreds of years of remnants of history here hola check it out we have more remnants old foundations perhaps this is from roman times even thousands of years old perhaps and then the old fortification san sebastian so that way is the mediterranean sea in africa and the territory of gibraltar in the distance and that way is the vast atlantic ocean the azores islands which are owned by portugal and the canary islands behind me behind this massive castle structure fresco my okay oh me wow action is returning to cadiz that's good to see that's good to see what do you think about that cat man yeah this is the life it's uh slowly returning the music fiesta maybe someday i hope so uh have you seen that a lot in spain over the years well uh it used to be here like people were singing dancing a lot here but yeah now it's kind of like for one year it has been shut down yeah so have you seen a lot of that in malaga or other parts of andalusia travel attica i've seen some flamenco like this but this guy had a definitely distinct style and what i really liked was he had an unbelievable passion guys you can see the way he was delivering the music yeah he was really passionate about it and he was telling his story and that is the the main thing that he was doing he was telling an amazing story with his music and his voice so you guys see the dilapidated buildings here that well undergo lots of weathering with the elements here because it's very very hot in summer and there's also a humid humidity effect and some say this city in some ways resembles havana cuba in fact there was a movie james bond die another day that was filmed here and they were trying to resemble in the movie havana cuba and it's these colonial spanish cities that you see throughout the caribbean central and south america that are very similar to what you see here with these buildings very interesting so as i was saying earlier guys this is a very fortified city and you can see here this is just a continuation of the fortified wall with the cathedrals in the background and the walls just continue into modern the modern part of cadiz new kariz and so right behind me is what you see of the colonial city the casco antigo all behind me with all the treasures in history right behind me and wow just look at the atlantic ocean it's looking very very beautiful no way a lizard you guys so karis also has this good local cuisine i've been recommended lots of seafood dishes here it looks like they have iberian lizard i think that is rather cheap try that man i gotta have some lizards and look at this nice terraza here people from caddies enjoying their time out eating wow look at look at this building here all right we got the 1906 the straigh galicia the canita cheers boys salud salud travel attica has never tried in 1906. you want to try yeah give me that 1906. all right is it really from 1906. yeah go back in time here we go guys
