Daniela Cicarelli's Cádiz Beach Video YouTube Hoopla

January 8, 2007 at 4:19 PM | 0 Comments

The widely viewed video that shows model Daniela Cicarelli and Brazilian banker Renato Malzoni in intimate scenes along a beach near the Spanish city of Cádiz has become a full fledged Internet sensation. Why? In large part due to the fact that Brasil Telecom SA has prohibited access to YouTube, one of the many sites that hosted the video.

While if you watched the video you definitely learned that i-bankers should never where tight green speedos, we would like to teach you something a little more useful about the bootleg videos alleged setting, a beach in Cádiz.

No idea what beach the video was filmed on, but it had to be one of the three major beaches--La Cortadura Beach, La Victoria Beach, La Caleta Beach.

La Cortadura Beach is by far the biggest and most famous beach in Cadiz, the 4000m long beach stretches from Cortaduara to Torrengora, oh and get this:

It's a virgin beach; considered to be one of the most unspoilt in the area. The sand is gold and very fine. It was formed by a series of sand dunes...the seabed is covered in rocks. La Cortadura has been awarded seven blue flags.

Um, not any longer.

Spanish Best Brits in Fish and Chips Face-Off

The English haven't offered the world much in the way of cuisine, except for perhaps fish and chips. Now we think the Spanish have them beat at even that. Pescaito frito, a fried-fish delicacy from the southern Iberian province of Cádiz, is miles ahead of its English counterpart. Not only does it taste better, but the Spanish version also offers a lot more variety: You're not limited to just cod fillets here, folks. They'll fry you up any seafood you wish, from baby squid to fish eggs. Our personal favorite is cazón en adobo, dogfish in "special" spices.

Where can you get some of that delicious dogfish for yourself? It doesn't get any better than in the capital of Cádiz Province itself, also named Cádiz. A peninsular city jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean (Cádiz claims to be the oldest in Europe, at 3,000 years old) is dotted with dozens of fast-food fried-fish joints, known as freidurias. Our personal favorite is Freiduria Veedor, located on a street of the same name in the center of town.

Once you've found Veedor, go for the surtido, a mix of everything they have to offer. Just don't expect any boring ol' cod in that mix; you'll have to go back to England if you want those.
