Cadiz Travel Guide

 30 Reviews  Cadiz Cathedral was planned as a Baroque cathedral in the 18th century but was started in 1838, so the style was changed, incorporating more Neoclassical elements. Several Spanish noblemen are buried in the crypt, including Cádiz-born composer Manuel de Falla. Read more:... 

 26 Reviews  Very close to the waterfront, we soon encountered Castillo de San Marcos - one of the city's main tourist attractions. I stopped for a photo as we approached for a closer look (2nd photo) and four of the locals who were sitting there beside the walls gave me a wave when they realized they would be... 

 10 Reviews  Torre Tavira is the biggest watchtower in the city. It is also home to the Cámera Oscura; a 'camera' which projects a moving picture of the whole of Cádiz into a large dish shaped screen. It is really interesting. A expert will give you a talk about what you are looking at in Spanish, English,... 

 11 Reviews  Beautifully designed star shaped castle built jutting out into the water to protect this section of the city. You can go into the castle and enter the corner turrets and imagine yourself a soldier stationed there to keep a lookout for invaders. You can see the size in the second picture where Zohara... 

 10 Reviews  Cadiz was the meeting place of the Cortes in 1810. This massive monument celebrates the constitution which came out of that meeting. School groups come here to learn about this part of Spain's history, and it is a good place to end your tour of Cadiz with many benches to rest upon. 

 8 Reviews  This place is huge as it is a central plaza in Cadiz, it has lots of cafes around, many shops and the main government building designed in Neo-classical features around 1800 according to Lonely Planet. There was a noisy bunch of protesters there when we visited. They told us they were fed up with... 

 2 Reviews  Getting to Morocco from Spain is very easy. You can but tickets for a ferry from Algeciras (a rather ugly port town). You can go to Tangiers or the Spanish colony of Ceuta(Sebta in Arabic) in Africa. After hearing how hectic Tangiers is we opted to go to Ceuta and cross the b order to Morocco from... 

 4 Reviews  Parque Genoves gives a different view of the age of exploration. Many of the discoveries made by Spanish explorers were new plants. This garden showcases some of the plants found by these Spanish adventurers. This park is more open than the Alameda de Apodaca, with a wide path running up the center,... 

 2 Reviews  English?British? Spanish? Spanglish? This controversial colony is situated on the South West coast that joins the Atlantic to the pacific. For this reason it is notorious for its British weather! It is only 5km long and 1.6m high. You enter through the Spanish town of La Linea, there is a border... 

 7 Reviews  The Correos, (Post Office) is at the edge of the Plaza de las Flores. Here you can get your stamps and mail your cards to family and friends. All of my cards are written in the language of the place I am visiting, in this case Spanish. Because I am not fluent in Spanish, I purchase a local paper,... 

 2 Reviews and 119 Opinions  Thi hotel is in a nice location. The Victoria beach is a 2 min walk. If you like to walk it is easy... 

 4 Reviews  We got ripped off at this prestigious restaurant. Planned a special dinner days ago, visiting their webpage and studying the elaborate "tasting menus". When we got to the restaurant and gleefully ordered menu number 2, we were informed that the tasting menus are only for groups of fifteen or more,... 

 6 Reviews  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... 

 4 Reviews  Getting from El Puerto de Santa Maria to Cadiz by car looked like a big hassle with traffic to reach the city via either the bridge over Bahia de Cadiz or up the congested motorway along the long peninsula on which the city is built - not to mention parking issues. As a result, we decided to just... 

 5 Reviews  Angango: People that usually wear lots of gold and shout and fight about everything and anything. Aro- Shortened from the Castillano word claro which means 'of course'. Bastinazo- An extremely large amount something, perhaps too much! Cambembo- Wobbly or out of shape Carajote- A born... 

 1 Review  DOÑANA NATURAL PARK At the north of Cadiz province you can find the biggest Natural Park of all Spain and one of the most important in Europe. Birds, flamingos, deers, linx... can be seen here... if you are lucky enough! There is no free entrance, but you can visit it in Guided Tours. This 1 day...
