Roman and other stuff

We went to Baelo Claudia today a tiny Roman settlement that was into the fish trade. As they are close to the Straits of Gibraltar they were able to harvest tuna twice a year and salt them to trade. When the empire fell apart so did trade and the town slowly died and was buried in the dunes


This is the fish factory



We also passed Gibraltar
