Cats from Barbate {Spain}

Puerto de Barbate (often called Barbate de Franco because the ex-dictator spent many summers there), in the Spanish province of Cádiz, is a popular destination among Spanish tourists but not much visited by travelers from other countries. 

It is built around a fishing port, which goes back to Roman times when the fish-salting industry was at its peak. This is exactly why dozens of cats roam the area. A fishing boat returning to port always receives a royal welcome by the feline locals.

If you're in Cádiz, then Puerto de Barbate is a good spot to get your daily "fix" of cats.

Would you consider visiting Puerto de Barbate to see these cats? 😸
