Further along the coast past Barbate is the old Roman town of Baelo Claudia. This has been sympathetically, partially restored and gives a good impression of just how grand it must have been in the first century AD. Set right on the beach front it had fish salting tanks and a fish salting factory on a large scale.
Also the usual temples and baths plus all the living accommodation for rich and poor, a real working town. The beach is beautiful, curving round to a large sand dune reminiscent of Dune du Pilar in France.
All in all a great day out with a very good museum and all Free to any citizen of Europe just show your passport.
