I'm not a Jesus man but really love the ceramic tiled religious art that adorn the churches and cathedrals in Andalucia.

Spain does not have a great amount hostels compared to the rest of Europe. The major touristic cities have hostel accommodation, but everywhere else budget accommodation can be found at pensions and hostals.

I like staying in pensions in Spain as you get to see the insides of the apartment buildings that they are in, and if you have been staying in hostels a private room is a welcome luxury. Most pensions can't be booked online though so you have to look around when you get into town.

I got to Cadiz early in the morning with the intention of staying at the only hostel in town, but I found that it had since closed down after my guide book was published. I walked around for about an hour until I found what must have been the last room available for the day at the Pension Inma in the Old Town of Cadiz.


View from my pension room. The top of the Cadiz Cathedral appearing above the narrow streets of Cadiz.

Kölner Dom (Cologne Cathedral) houses what is said to be the remains of the Magi (the three wise men).



The Shrine of the Three Kings makes Colognes Cathedral one of great pilgrimage churches of Europe.
