    (5) Graffiti on a Cádiz side street advocates fighting for what’s yours – a slogan of support for Andalucían independence movements. The region has long viewed itself as a separate entity from the rest of Spain, and recent economic distress has deepened this divide. Views[160] (4) Despite the city’s celebratory mood on fair day, Andalucía’s economic troubles are all too visible in a nearby canal, where a rowboat rots in the shallows. Andalucía has suffered more than any other Spanish province in the country’s recession, with unemployment reaching record highs.

Views[366] (1) Fishing boats rest on tide flats after sunrise, having already returned with their morning catch. The Castle of San Sebastián, which guided Columbus’ ships out of Cádiz’s harbor on their voyages to America, stands guard in the background. Views[165]
