Cadiz

Cadiz enters the Atlantic Ocean on a narrow strip of land closing the bay that has its name. The old town is a tangle of narrow streets filled with popular taste, with internal patios full of flowers, and houses crowned with lookouts to watch the sea.

It has the most beautiful and healthy urban beaches in Europe, La Caleta and Victoria, both beaches are "Cadiz parks" because they are one of the most suitable places for walking or playing sports.

Seafood and fish are the kings of the coastal local cuisine. In Cadiz, you have to enjoy a good grilled mackerel and a plate of "fried fish" on the terraces distributed across the secluded squares of the old town.

Among its highlights its famous Carnival festivities, where the people of Cadiz go out to the street with their graceful spark, turning the "silver cup" in an explosion of joy and mocking healthy criticism.
