About Cádiz

Cádiz is the most southerly of Andalucía’s eight provinces and its capital is the oldest city of western Europe. According to Greek legends the city was founded by Hercules, though in actual fact it was the Phoenicians who named it Gadir in 1100 BC.

For a time during Spain’s Golden Age following the discovery of America, Cadiz was Spain’s prime entry port for ships sailing to and from the New World. At one time Cádiz was the capital of Spain. You can still see the buildings of the merchants, the 18th century cathedral, the old quarter, the San Felipe Neri which housed the Spanish parliament when it approved the 1812 Constitution and the Santa Cueva Chapel with its paintings by Goya. As might be expected in a place with such a strong maritime  tradition, fish is favourite in the restaurants of Cádiz.

The province of Cádiz has over 200 kilometres of the most beautiful beaches in Spain. Most of these are relatively wild and far away from big urban areas, due to the closeness of natural reserves.

The province contains over 5 natural reserves like La Sierra de Grazalema, Los Alcornocales, La Doñana and the area between Barbate and Caños de Meca, all worth a visit. Situated within the inland of the province you will find untouched landscapes and the beautiful white villages (pueblos blancos) again definitely not to be missed.

Thankfully the coast of Cadiz is kept very natural and mass tourism is still unknown to this area. Except for the summer months, when mostly Spanish holidaymakers visit Cádiz, it is nice and quiet with a very pleasant temperature between 14 and 22 Celsius during the winter and a bit above 25 Celsius during summer.
