Cadiz, a city with History
by Carmela71
And we are talking about lots of history as it is one of the oldest in Europe if I am not wrong ....
In its 3000 years of history, Cadiz had visitors from all places, fenicios, Romans, Moslem ....
lol.
the mythology says that Hercules funded the city calling it Gadir that means "closed recint" and later on with the Romans was called Gades
Mercado Andalusí
by Redang
This market takes place every August for a few days, mostly in the evening/night. El Barrio del Pópolo hosts this event where you can enjoy markets, food and some shows as well as concerts, everything related to the essence of Al-Andalus..
Barrio del Populo
by Carmela71
The businessmen of the area want to promote the carnival in this area, so in the last years, you can enjoy here a few “Carruseles de Coros”, specially the one on day time, Calle Libertad, just behind the market is a”must” and less crowded than the others.
It covers the Plaza de las Flores (or also Plaza de populo), around the market and streets around.
Sancti Petri
by Carmela71
there are the beaches of Chiclana, nice tourist resort from where you can see the island of Sancti Petri. I was shock to see how much had been constructed in the last 15 days, as I had not been before, even if I was living in Cadiz.
Pets on the move
by blint
Dogs can be taken on the local train line 'Cercanias' without paying an extra charge. They do not have to go in a carrier either, they do however have to wear a muzzle and be on the lead. There is no weight limit.
To take a dog on the Andalucia Express and medium distance trains dogs must be put in a pet carrier. Cats too of course.
Dogs over 6kg are not allowed to travel the AVE or TALGO (fast trains). If you have a dog under 6kg it must travel in a pet carrier. Cats can be taken in a carrier too.
If you have a dog over 6kg it is a real hassle to travel with, especially if you want to go to Madrid or Barcelona.
You cannot take dogs on any form of bus either.
When you travel with a dog in the car officially you must have a net separating you from them. Them in the back and you in the front. Or they must travel in the car in a carrier. If you don not comply with these regulations be prepared to get a fine if the Guardia Civil stop you. Though it is unlikely that they will stop you unless you are breaking the speed limit or have another problem with your car.
Taxi's will only accept small dogs SOMETIMES.
