 The monument in Plaza de
España by SirRichard
Cadiz was a main center of the Liberal party on those days, and here was declared the first constitution we had in Spain, in 1812. It was declared in the "San Felipe Neri" church, that can be visited in the center. There is a monument in the Plaza de España to celebrate it... Leave a Comment

To get there from the train station, pass the big fountain and turn left after the tall building on your left.
Here you will find schedules, leaflets, info about wine cellars, beaches.... Leave a Comment

The photo is of a Danish ship that was in the port for some kind of fair. It would have been busy with all these kinds of sailing ships at one time, however although this was an old ship with sails, hidden in the masts you could see their radar equipment! Leave a Comment

 Sunset from Cadiz by bugalugs
Also the English poet and writer Lord Byron (1788-1824) lived here for a while. He even wrote a poem about Cadiz titled 'Girls from Cadiz' in 1809.
It is also from here that Christopher Columbus saled on his second voyage to the 'New World'. Leave a Comment

 Los Caños de meca by blint
There are also different beaches for everyone from nudists to those who like water sports, or just lying in the sun.
I have so many fond memories I cannot distinguish just one. Though playing ball with my dog on the beach really stands out. In Cadiz and El Puerto dogs aren't allowed on the beach in the summer, but on more relaxed hippy beaches like Los Caños dogs are welcome all year round. Though Lady dogs beware. Boy dogs are usually ALL male (if you get what I mean) and aren't usually tied up on the beach (or on the street for that matter). Leave a Comment

 Watch towers by Beach_dog
The small buildings at the tops of the towers are called Garitas, due to their similarity to sentry boxes used by the military. They were there to cover the top of the stairways.
You can only really appreciate the towers from a high vantage point, so I suggest you view them from Torre Tavira or the Cathedral tower. Leave a Comment

 Left Seville for Cadiz, then 3
nights in Estepona by Bwana_Brown
We had no problems leaving Seville and were soon cruising along on the AP4 superhighway. However, since we had booked accommodations in El Puerto de Santa Maria, across the bay from Cadiz, we veered off about half-way along onto the smaller A 471 highway at Las Catezas de St. Juan so we would not have to deal with traffic in the large city of Jerez de la Frontera. It was about 3 PM when we finally rolled into our Hotel Dunas Puerto, with Cadiz visible across the water.
We left the Cadiz area the following afternoon, brushing past the other side of Jerez as we took the inland route over the mountains on the A381 superhighway. This was quite a scenic drive as the landscape became more rugged and windmill farms were popping up everywhere. It was too bad that we did not have time to stop to admire this part of Spain but, as we came within view of the Mediterranean Sea near Algeciras, I remarked what a fantastic looking rock island that was that I could see just off the coast. Suddenly, I realized that it had to be the Rock of Gibraltar! However, we did not stop and eventually reached our next overnight stop in Estepona by about 5 PM. Actually, we were so impressed with the peaks and Atlantic coastline in this part of Spain that, a few days later, Sue and I back-tracked part-way up the coast while overnighting in Tarifa and Vejer de la Frontera.
