Cadiz Favorites

Favorite thing: What i adore about this city - is that it 'has' a lot of water... if u are on the rigth time, and wind is comming from the sea, u are lucky, at least if u are from nothern countries, like me ;) because u dont have to beer this terrible heat, u can enjoy every minute there, like me ;)

Favorite thing: This little rooms will be found all over the walls, and also something similar on some towers of the old houses that are also called GARITAS.

A lo largo de las murallas de Cádiz encontraras estas garitas y también en lo alto de algunas torres de las casa antiguas.

Favorite thing: In that times it was not allowed to have more than one tower per house, but the owner of this one, cheated to have 4 in only one house, they are only connected by a corridor. This house is next to Plaza de España. I guess he must had been a rich merchant as more than a tower was luxurious

Next to it you can see another bulding with 5, but in that times it was five separate buildings.

Favorite thing: This giant ficus are very old, and you can find 4 of them in Cadiz, two near La Caleta and the other two at Alameda Apocadaca


Hay cuatro ficus gigantes en Cadiz, 2 en al Caleta y otros dos en Alameda Apocada

Favorite thing: The first thing you see on the top of Tavira tower is the different kinds of roofs, there are 4 styles, the “garita”, “silla”, mixto or terraza. Originally the towers were constructed over merchants houses in order to be able to see when the ships from America of that merchant arrived to port. Most of them are on private hands and not well conserved is just a pity as there are only 124 left

Favorite thing:
This Park is just at the end of Cadiz, on the old town, it has an interesting collection of trees and also some birds.

It is the most popular in Cadiz and I used to go often as it was in front of my residence.



Este parque esta al final de Cadiz y tiene una interesante fauna con especies traídas durante los siglos desde otros continentes, así como algunas jaulas para pájaros.

Ha sido y sigue siendo uno de los más famosos de Cádiz, yo iba mucho ya que mi residencia estaba justo enfrente

Favorite thing:
You will find many like this all over Andalucia.

This one in particular was outside the old cathedral of Cadiz.



Encontraras muchas como esta en toda Andalucia, esta en particular esta afuera de la catedral antigua de Cadiz

Favorite thing: The longest that crosses the old town.

You can see it very well from the Torre Tavira top floor, that is sited on the same street.



La mas larga que cruza el casco antiguo.

Se puede ver muy bien desde la terraza de Torre Tavira, que eta situada en la misma calle
