Spain

 

Place description

The city of Cadiz is situated on the bay of the same name. It is the southern most provincial capital in Spain. Aside from magnificent beaches and a privileged climate, it offers a highly interesting mixture of history, culture, architecture and landscape. It is the most ancient city still standing in Western Europe and the starting point for some of Christopher Columbus's voyages of discovery to America.
