Cadiz, capital city of the province of the same name, stands on a 10.58 Km peninsula and has a population of approximately 157,000 inhabitants. It is almost entirely surrounded by water, except for a narrow strip of land which connects the city to another island, San Fernando. Until the construction of the Carranza Bridge in 1969, this was the only land nexus to the rest of Europe. Cadiz is strategically situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean; this idyllic location played a determinant role in its history. The province enjoys 138 Km of white sandy beaches, dunes and transparent waters, while the capital has three beaches which joined make up almost 10 Km.

Its rich history is present in historic buildings, magnificent parks and charming squares. The city is also the administrative centre of the province and has the feel of a capital city without losing its small town touch.

Cadiz has an excellent climate: warm and temperate. The temperatures range between 14º and 20º in winter and slightly above 22º in summertime. Cadiz is proud to be one of the few cities in the world where inhabitants and visitors enjoy more than 300 days of sunshine per year.

The province Cadiz offers some of the most beautiful and varied sights in Spain. Visitors readily lose themselves in its villages and cities, where local people are always friendly and willing to talk.

The city of Cadiz will surprise you with its rich cultural and historical heritage, and its ample offer of leisure activities to realize. One cannot miss its numerous baroque and neoclassic churches, specially: the new and old cathedrals. The new cathedral built between 1722 and 1853 and its museum displays some of the finest Spanish baroque, rococo and neoclassic architecture. The convent of Santo Domingo and the San Felipe Neri church played an important role in the history of the city and the country respectively, and, in the latter one can see, amongst others, a picture of the Immaculate Conception painted by the famous Spanish painter Murillo. Close to these, in the neoclassical Plaza Mina one can find the Museum of Cadiz with its collection of Phoenician and Roman archaeological findings, and its painting by artists of the size of Goya, Murillo, Zurbaran and Rubens.

Other places to visit include the Tavira Tower, with its dark chamber where, by means of a set of mirrors and lenses, one can see the entire city of Cadiz, the castles of San Sebastian and Santa Catalina, the Alameda Apodaca, the Falla theatre, archives and libraries, from a bird’s eye view.

Rivalling its vast cultural offer are the leisure activities that take place whether within its fortified walls or in Puertatierra. The February Carnival in Cadiz is one of the oldest and best known carnivals that take place in Spain. This carnival constitutes an international tourist attraction, and, people from all over come to enjoy and participate in its costumes and popular and ingenious songs (a word of caution: even other Spaniards have a hard time understanding the comical lyrics). Fourty days after carnival ends, in March or April, Holy Week takes place. This catholic celebration is a dramatic contrast to the pagan carnival. During Holy Week, thousands of Gaditanos parade rich baroque images of the Virgin and Jesus through its streets, accompanied by chamber music and the smell of flowers and frankincense. The carnation petal rain with which the Virgin of La Palma is received is specially striking. In May the city transforms, once again, to receive the Motorcycle Grand Prix which is held in the Jerez Circuit.
