Cadiz | Full tour of Cadiz in Spain
Cadiz is definitely one of our favourite stops and Cadiz stands on a peninsula jutting out into a bay, and is almost entirely surrounded by water.
Quick little snippet of Cadiz history:
Named Gadir by the Phoencians, who founded their trading post in 1100 BC, it was later controlled by the Carthaginians, until it became a thriving Roman port.
It sank into oblivion under the Visigoths and Moors, but attained great splendour in the early 16th century as a launching point for the journey to the newly discovered lands of America.
Cadiz was later raided by Sir Francis Drake, in the struggle to gain control of trade with the New World, and managed to withstand a siege by Napoleon's army. In the early 19th century Cadiz became the bastion of Spain's anti-monarchist, liberal movement, as a result of which the country's first Constitution was declared here in 1812.
If you get the opportunity to stop at Cadiz or even book a land holiday I'm sure you will find something to enjoy from the glorious weather to quaint alleyways and not forgetting the many free water fill fountains dotted around.
Stay hydrated and enjoy.
