Cadiz overview
The port city of Cadiz in southwestern Spain sits along the Costa de la Luz - the coast of light. Visitors to Cadiz will discover an ancient city - Western Europe's oldest continuously inhabited city - founded by the Phoenicians around 1100 BC. Cadiz has a strong maritime tradition: Christopher Columbus and other explorers sailed out of here on their voyages, and Sir Francis Drake raided the city in 1587. Cadiz is often linked with the Battle of Trafalgar, named after the cape just to the south.
Cadiz is a city of two towns - the old and the new. The old town is full of narrow streets, flower-bedecked balconies and cobble stone streets, while the new town features plenty of shops and modern apartment blocks. The restaurants and bars here are first-rate, serving excellent tapas and robust wines. One of the most remarkable landmarks in the city is the golden-domed Cadiz Cathedral. There is also a watchtower, the Torre Tavira, with a camera obscura, which offers panoramic views of the city reflected on the walls.
