Cádiz can be explored on foot from one end to the other, always with the sea alongside. It's a perfect day trip from Seville: you arrive by train or car in an hour and a half, eat pescaíto in La Viña and stay to watch the sunset at La Caleta.
What to do
- Cathedral and its tower: climb the lookout to see the city surrounded by sea
- Torre Tavira: the former watchtower with a camera obscura
- La Caleta and the San Sebastián castle, especially at sunset
- La Viña neighbourhood and Mercado Central: tapas and Cadiz atmosphere
- Playa Victoria: the large urban beach, with a seafront promenade
If it rains
- Museo de Cádiz, in Plaza de Mina
- Oratorio de San Felipe Neri, setting of the 1812 Constitution
- Cathedral interior and its crypt
- Mercado Central: eat indoors at its stalls
Getting around and taxis
- The old town is easy to explore on foot
- City buses and taxis from the train station
- The train connects with San Fernando and Jerez in just a few minutes
Tips
- Carnival (February) is the city's biggest festival
- Try the tortillitas de camarones and the fried pescaíto
- If you go by car, park at the entrance to the old town: the centre is narrow
