Cádiz

Ancient history, beaches and Andalusian culture

About Cádiz

Cádiz is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe, founded by the Phoenicians more than 3,000 years ago. Its old town is a maze of narrow streets, sunlit plazas and lively neighbourhoods where ancient history blends seamlessly with everyday Andalusian life.

Surrounded almost entirely by the Atlantic Ocean, Cádiz feels like an island. Golden beaches such as La Caleta and Playa Victoria offer some of the best swimming, sunsets and coastal walks on the Costa de la Luz.

The city is famous for its seafood taverns, traditional markets and vibrant cultural scene. From the impressive cathedral to the colourful La Viña district, every corner of Cádiz offers something memorable.

Whether you’re exploring ancient fortresses, enjoying tapas by the sea or wandering through historic streets, Cádiz is a perfect day trip from Chiclana and a highlight of the Costa de la Luz.
