Cadiz, Spain is fascinating; it's the oldest city in Europe. Almost entirely surrounded by water, the city appears isolated. It stands on a peninsula jutting out into the bay, dramatically defining the surrounding landscape.
This ancient city on the Costa de la Luz in Andalusia is approximately 3,000 years old. The Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Romans have all settlled here at one point over the years. Initially it was called Gadir by the Phoenicians. They were the first settlers, in 1100BC. Next were the Carthaginians and then the Romans who turned it into a thriving port. During the 17th century, trading between Cádiz and the rest of the world increased dramatically; the economy boomed.
Port cities often appear threatening. Cadiz on the other hand, is very relaxed and easy-going. Even at night, you'd feel safe walking around the city. It's probably due to its small size and the presence of the sea. It's almost impossible to get lost as you're
never more than a few blocks away from the coastline.
The old central quarter is probably the most beautiful part of the city. It's famous for its picturesque charm. Here you'll find some spectacular buildings, and all just a few meters from the coast. The narrow and cobbled streets open out onto pretty little squares. People sit outside in cafes all day long enjoying the heat, and gazing up at the Moorish architechture.
Cadiz (or little Havana) as it's often called, has strong relations with Cuba. There has been a continuous flow of traffic between the two cites over the years. The two cities even look very simililar. Cuban scenes from the latest James Bond film (Die another day) were shot here in Cadiz.
You can walk around the old -su-interior-pueblos-blancos,town in about an hour. There are also some lovely parks you can visit with spectacular views out to the Bay.
Cadiz is an attractive combination of architecture, landscape, and history. It has some excellent beaches and the people are incredibly relaxed, open, and friendly.
