Cadiz

Founded more than 3000 years ago by Phoenician sailors, Cadiz has a long history and much of it can still be seen. In 1596 the British attacked and the walls that were built to try to keep them out are still on display - San Sebastian is open to visitors. The Romans and Moors spent many centuries fighting over ownership and reminders of both cultures can be found here.

Cadiz is located in south west Spain and is surrounded by the sea. It is one of the narrowest cities but has a history and views that mean many visitors want to spend time there. It is the 17th largest city in Spain but its population is decreasing and due to its shape it is not possible to build more houses than are already there.

The Cathedral should not be missed and to allow an amazing view of the entire city there is North Tower. The first Spanish Constitution was signed in the church Oratorio de San Felipe Neri. Cadiz is a port where many merchants used to wait for the safe return of their ships and there is a camera obscura in one of the towers. The market is worth visiting and the food sections are always full of fine produce. The beaches of Santa Maria del Mar, Victoria, and Cortadura run for 10km through both the old and new areas of Cadiz and are renowned for being safe and clean. The Levante brings blowing sand which can be hazardous but normally the temperature is warm but with a gentle breeze.

There are many ways to get around Cadiz and many people choose to walk around due to its compact layout. Driving is also a good way to see the sites and to get to some out of the way places after the hectic pace in some cities, the calmer atmosphere of Cadiz is welcomed.
