Cadiz, Spain

Taking the Sierra de Fates and Sierra de la Plata, crowded with windmills on both sides, you reach a city of Phoenician origin, the capital of a province in Andalusia. Cadiz has landed on the narrow, north-facing coast of the Costa de la Luz.
For millennia, the city has been of interest and desire for power to Phoenicians, ancient Greeks, Romans, Visigoths and Arabs. It was the first to found Cadiz around 1100 BC. which defines it as the oldest city inhabited without interruption, on the Iberian Peninsula, and probably in Southwestern Europe. The city has flourished over the years, but for a long time it was not very important for the state.
A turning point in Seville's fate - the clogging of its port on the Guadelcavir River, led to the stellar moment of Cadiz. In the 18th century, it became a major Spanish trading port, welcoming benefactors and harbingers of success and wealth - ships arriving from the New World. But in addition to being an important port for centuries, Cadiz is also the base of the Spanish navy, with which Spain conquered half the world before the Dutch and the British.
Modern and sleek in appearance, the city of Cadiz has a beautiful old historical part, a heart dotted with romantic squares, cathedrals, fortress walls and charming streets that carry the atmosphere of Arab urban planning. The attractive, elegant houses, painted in soft pastel tones, are not inferior to them.
The Museum of Cadiz, which offers an impressive collection of archeological and artistic treasures, is a must-see. Its grand building from the middle of the 19th century houses sarcophagi from the 5th century BC, fine ceramic busts of gods, amphorae and Etruscan objects, as well as paintings by Surbaran, Miroglio, Van Dyck, Rubens and many artists from the 20th century.
Cadiz is a city that should be visited because of the pleasant atmosphere it offers. The traditions preserved here speak for themselves and it is an incomparable experience for every visitor to witness the mastery of craftsmen who carve wooden furniture and gilded baroque frames. Joy and desire for life captivates everyone who is Cadiz during his carnival, which is one of the most important events in Spain and is recognized worldwide festival. A complete vacation or just the pleasure of being a local, give everyone the beaches of Cadiz, covered with soft golden sand, on the west coast of the peninsula, cooled by the breeze of the Atlantic.
