The day continued with a visit to el Castillo de San Marcos. In the afternoon, the group went to the beach again, they enjoyed it, it was a really great time. After a really long day,it was time to watch a movie and chill before going to bed!

They visited Torre Tavira and learned about Cádiz history in the arqueological museum, and had some free time for shopping or seeing more of the city. That same night, they enjoyed a nice meal on the rooftop , to end the night they had some time to enjoy music, dance or play games.
On Friday, they started by going to el Puerto de Santa María city centre and having some delcious churros and then buying some snacks on the traditional Market.
