Last leg of the expedition

The last two weeks of the expedition was  mainly sightseeing in Andalusia & Morocco. There were no more battlefields, but many castles, fortifications & city walls, but none individually worth a blog report.  Some highlights:

Cadiz was our fave of the Andalusian cities with much of it's defenses of the old city preserved.

Ronda is on a spectacular site surrounded by precipitous cliffs forming a natural defense.  This is the new bridge over the gorge between the original & new town. 
Gibraltar was pretty spectacular.The tunnels of Gibraltar were very extensive & included whole bastions cut inside the rock.
There were many city walls in Morocco but nothing military as interesting as we'd seen in Spain.  This is the old Portuguese fortress town of El Jedida.
