CADIX

Cadix is HISTORICAL:  from Roman ruins to the apogée of the Spanish Emprire and with the life in the middle age everything in Cadix tells something about history. Cadix is also amongst the oldest Eurpean cities and its particularity is also to be surrounded by beaches.

PORT

 

PORT One should not forget that Cadix used to be the main port of Spain in the Atlantic and at the time of the Central and South American Spanish Empire was very prosperous. NOWADAYS the port is more used for building and scrapping vessels.

CAPITAL

​

CAPITAL Cadix is the capital of Andalucia and is surrounded by the sea which gives it such a charm and light. Cadix is white and so sunny. The vessels used to wait for the sun on the golden bubbles to find their way when approching the port (TAVIRA Tower). 

If you like BEACHES you will certainly enjoy La Caleta which is an urban beach with the Club Maritima Gaditano (nautic club).You will certainly  take the way (Paseo Fernando Quinones) to go to Castel of San Sebastian. At night you will certainly enjoy the sunset.   If not you may go a bit further to Playa de Santa Maria del Mar which is very calm and you will relax while facing the Ocean protected from the sea buy breakwater. Playa de Santa Maria del Mar is surrounded by small shops called « chiringuitos » where you can have some Andalucian specialities  (however a bit too oily for me!).

If you want more GREEN and want to avoid the burning sun go to the Botanical Garden (Parc Genoves) on north west of the city. That Genoves parc has a lake and a cascade with birds all around. 

 

If you go on February you will discover Cadix as a fest with the streets all changed with the famous CARNIVAL of Cadix. It’s a worldwide famous Carnival which attracts a lot of people.
