Unfortunately, nothing is done about it. I did notice a change in the urbanization where my son lives in Puerto Real (Cádiz) and after asking my son about it, he indicated that meetings amongst citizens are taking place in different locations of the City and that the word of the day is that they will start with the fines. Further, I've heard from friends that it's indeed taking place and that many have been already fined, and believe it or not fines are "very high". Aleluya! But nevertheless, it will take me a little while to stop looking at the floor everytime I walk, especially at night in the dark. And by the way, I suggest you do too. Happy travels!   Cherry C.

Just one question though -- have they trained the locals to clean up after their dogs, or must you still watch your step everywhere you walk?   Danny Hamilton Senior Member Username: Dannyhamilton Post Number: 583 Registered: 03-2004 Posted From: 68.225.115.15 Posted on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - 08:55 pm:    A nice day trip from NS Rota is by ferry from the port of Rota (Town, not the base) to Cadiz across the bay. Lots of interesting tourist walking tours in Cadiz, each one COLOR CODED! Just follow the colored line painted on the streets and sidewalks that corresponds to whichever walking tour you are taking. Get literature at Tourist Office in Cadiz. You can use the ferry going to Cadiz and then return to Rota by bus, getting to see some more of the area that way. The town of Jerez is readily available by bus from the town of Rota. Dependable and cheap. Jerez is where the world famous Sherry wines are made. Take guided tours of the bodegas for a small fee. Sherry tasting included.   reed New member Username: Cmssgt46 Post Number: 5 Registered: 11-2008 Posted From: 87.218.76.171 Posted on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - 04:48 pm:    I know is for Transportation only but must say thanks to all for answering my questions on Rota Gate Trans will use it in about 10 days after visit in Rota By the way any ideas where and how to get to some site seeing places within a day of Rota while in the area Train Bus ect to Portugal maybe
