Once known as Gadir almost 3000 years ago, Cadiz as it is now known is the oldest city in Europe. The gateway to Europe and the passing of numerous civilisations and cultures has left its mark on this city.

The numerous palaces, churches, monuments and gardens are a direct reminder of the history of this city, these, along with the invasion of the romans on the Iberian peninsula, the discovery of America and the beginnings of the Spanish constitution are all reminders of what this city has been through.

Known as the “silver teacup” or little “Havana” by many, this historic centre is full of surprises which must be covered by foot if you are to enjoy what its’ little streets and enchanting square have in store. Make sure you climb to the top of the Genoves park to get the best views of the bay.

Playa de la Victoria or La Caleta are to name but a couple of the fantastic beaches in the city and whilst you are there make sure you try some of the local delicacies.
