Cadiz Information

Located in southwest Spain, Cádiz is an ancient port city that is built on a peninsula surrounded almost entirely by the sea. This unique town first became famous in the 16th-century when it was used for trade and exploration, and Spain’s first Constitution was declared here in 1812. With more than 100 watchtowers and historical landmark buildings situated in multiple plazas that are connected via narrow streets, Cádiz is a relaxed and easygoing city that makes for an interesting and enjoyable visit.

The Cádiz Carnival is the premier celebration in mainland Spain, made up of satirical song groups and creative characters in elaborate costumes. The music and performances are what draw people far and wide to this annual celebration, which dates back to the 16th century and starts the weekend before Ash Wednesday. While strolling around town, be sure to stop in one of the many freidurias, which are fried-fish shops located around just about every corner that offer tasty fried seafood dishes. Another popular tourist attraction is Torre Tavira, formerly part of an aristocratic palace and now offering stunning panoramic views. Visit the numerous baroque churches in town, including the Oratorio de San Felipe Neri and the Oratorio de la Santa Cueva on Calle Rosario, which maintains its 18-century interior and includes a crypt-like space in the basement and a chapel on the ground floor. Casa del Almirante is an ornate palace with marble doorways that is now the city’s first boutique hotel—it’s worth stopping in here for a drink and to peek around. Get in some beach time at Victoria Beach, which can be easily spotted as a result of the colored umbrellas that line the sand.
