La Caleta is one of the four beaches in Cadiz, but it stands out as the smallest and most popular due to its location next to the old town and between two castles. It gained pop-culture significance as a filming location for a scene in Die Another Day. Visitors can relax on its golden shores, visit the iconic Spa of Lady of Palma, and enjoy beach bars.
A nice place to hang out at during a day trip to Cádiz even in late December! Kids run around with gusto, collecting seashells and pebbles

Pier has seen better days but it is a great little traditional beach. Nice for family's and news agents near by for drinks. Sand isn't the dreamy white stuff you see in pictures and almost feels a bit British.
Great beach in the center of Cadiz. Enjoying our stay here today.
Located in beautiful Cádiz, it is an idyllic spot. The beaches, good food and rich history. Definitely plan on returning!
Cádiz, La Caleta is a beach located in the historical center of the city of Cádiz. It is a natural harbor by which Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans penetrated historically. main attraction is its location, a scene that has inspired musicians and poets like: Isaac Albéniz, José Maria Pemán, Paco Alba, and Carlos Cano. It has been pictured in several films, such as 007: Die Another Day, Alatriste, and Manolete.
Not sure how typical it is there, but during our 2 days in Cadiz, water in La Caleta was very turbid (likely due to heavy rain in Andalucia couple days before our arrival). Also loads of seaweed😬 You find much better conditions on the south side of the walkway to the fortress. It has access to open Atlantic and water there is much clearer, but swimming conditions are harder due to higher waves. If you just want to play on the sand - it's a place for you, although we visited pre season and I can see it getting very crowded. Big parkings are available nearby, but be prepared for them to be full or if you get lucky, to dig deep into your pockets - 15€/day seems to be cheap in Cadiz😬
Great beach. The water is calm but cold. There are toilets and showers.
Usually a lot of people, but overall fine
Park
Nature & Parks
Parque Genovés is a picturesque and expansive park located in the Old City section of Cadiz. It borders the university campus to the north and features a wide variety of plants, trees, and pathways. The park's design by Valencian architect Geronimo Genoves Puig includes a grotto with a waterfall and an ornamental lake adorned with dinosaur sculptures. Visitors can enjoy picnics, leisurely walks, or let children play at the playground.
Great location right by the sea. It’s located beside the parador at the top of the old city of Cadiz. Some very unusual tropical plants dating back 100+ years. A great playground for the children keep them entertained, and for adults a nice small coffee shop with outdoor seating at very reasonable prices. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area and you want a bit of shade.

Ever wondered where history and nature blend seamlessly? Parque Genovés in Cádiz is a hidden gem that captivates from the first step! With its lush gardens, whimsical topiary sculptures, and serene waterfront views, this park feels like a living postcard. Perfect for a peaceful stroll or a moment of reflection under ancient trees. Don’t miss the charming waterfall and the quirky dragon tree – it’s a must-visit! What’s your favorite spot here?
Lovely park in Cadiz. There are waterfalls, raised walkways and a play park. It's got nice sea views too. There are lots of trees and plants and lots of shady walks. There is a shop/bar to buy beer, coffee and ice creams too. Really lovely place to relax and unwind.
Seems like it is not being kept or looked after. Trees and flowers need trimming etc. No water in fountains, no waterfall functioning. Has been taken over by countless pigeons. Still very nice collection of trees and flowers worth a visit, but do not expect too much.
Very lovely park. Interesting shaped trees and waterfalls right next to the ocean, definitely worth a visit!
Feeling like completely different Cádiz!Definitely nice place to visit.More about travel and usg +glow advises in my IG romanova.lockey
I came in September, so the park hands were busy repainting the seating, but still plenty of seats to take in the air and the florna and flora. Each interesting plant has a scan code for you to find out about it.
Beautiful botanical garden with sculptures of famous local people. Very nice place.

Torre Tavira is a historic observation tower in Cadiz, dating back to the 18th century. It offers stunning panoramic views of the city and the sea, making it a must-visit for photography enthusiasts. The tower features a camera obscura on its top floor, projecting real-time images of the surroundings onto a white screen. Visitors can also explore two exhibition halls within the tower.
It's part of the Camera Obscura, which unfortunately we couldn't visit as it was fully booked. The narrow climb up the tower was well worth it for the views . Lots of information on the walls as you climb.

Marta was a great tour guide. She explained everything to our group and had a playful sense of humor.
The views of Cadiz and beyond were amazing. The staircase is a workout but the views are well worth it.
Fantastic view of Cadiz
This was a great place to come to and climb a few steps to see the view of the town. It was not that expensive and really worth it!
Highly recommended!
Not a whole lot to see here, better views from the cathedral tower for the same price. Overall it’s a good place to learn about the different towers and their history an usage within the city. Camera obscura is neat.
I think this is a must visit location when you come to Cadiz. You get more cultural and historical background about the place. I strongly recommend guided version. I don't want to spoil it for you but it was amazing!
Terrific views, well worth a visit as is the city of Cadiz. Book in advance if you want to see the camera obscurer, or pay a little less to access the top and enjoy the views.
Thank you Pablo for an excellent demonstration of the camera obscura. Very entertaining.
Brace yourself for the steps and be prepared for fantastic views.
We booked an English tour online. You reserve your place and pay on the day. The camera obscura was better than expected and the views from the top were excellent. Little museum rooms en route were interesting too.

Castle
Historical landmark
The Castillo de Santa Catalina is a 17th-century fortress complex located in Cadiz, offering stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and La Caleta beach. This historic landmark was constructed by Philip II as a response to the brief occupation of Cadiz by Anglo-Dutch forces in 1596. The castle now features exhibition spaces for modern art and hosts open-air concerts in its internal courtyard during the summer.
Another free site in Cadiz worth a quick stop. Beautiful views from here of the harbor and adjacent beach. A great place for some quick photos. The buildings house various rotating exhibitions of art, photography, etc.
Andrew H — Google review
Cádiz, Castillo de Santa Catalina, the castle is the oldest military construction in Cádiz city, and is a good example of historic preservation. Situated to the north of Playa La Caleta and Castillo San Sebastian, it is well worth a visit. Construction started in April: 1598, led by architect and military engineer, Cristóbal de Rojas. The castle was completed exactly 23 years later, in September 1621, at the end of Felipe III's reign.
Interesting walk through, great spot for the view, it's free entry so you can't be disappointed that there is nearly no sign explaining any history of the structure. It's been converted to an art gallery now, do you got that.
Loved the 1643 chapel .fantastic view all along the walls .Has wee seats in good shaded era with great views.
Nice view from the castle. Free entrance. Good for walking.
The 17th century Castillo de Santa Catalina next to Playa de La Caleta in Cádiz, Spain, was built by order of King Philip II after the Anglo-Dutch capture of the city in 1596.
This castle is underrated. Inside the castle, there’s a garden, there’s a museum, and there is a small chapel. When you go around the castle, it is a stunning view of the ocean and the beach. I took many videos so that you can see from a different perspectives. Best of all, it is free to go in. Enjoy the Beatles see use of the sea.
Stunning little fortress, with great views over Castillo de San Sebastian and the mainland with the added bonus that it is free to enter. Not sure what it will be like in peak tourist season, but in mid-November, I almost had the place to myself!! The Chapel is a must, especially if you spot the small staircase that rakes you to the mezzanine and gives you a nice view from above. The exhibition to the explosion of Cadiz is worth a visit and a poignant reminder of the disaster and work of the medical teams in saving lives.

Located in the Plaza Fraguela in Cadiz, Gran Teatro Falla is a prominent theater built in 1886 after its predecessor was destroyed by fire. The building's neo-Mudejar style features colorful bricks and horseshoe arches on its facade. It stands alongside other historic structures like the neoclassical Carcel Real and Casa de las Viudas.
Fabulous venue for a concert. We saw guitarist Yerai Cortés and 6 women singers. It was a great concert. Pulsing guitar, dramatic choral singing and thumping palmeras. El teatro tiene muy buena acústicas.

Beautiful theatre with a lot of character. The Moorish-style façade is stunning and it’s right in the heart of Cádiz. Worth seeing even if you don’t go to a show.
Very nice building Moorish style
Active theater, beautiful architecture and nice little cafes around.
Named to the famous musician that is buried in Cathedral.
We were in Cadiz for 4 days, unfortunately we couldn't enjoy the events in the Theater. We only saw the exterior facade and the Plaza Fragela, facing the Casa de las Viudas and adjacent to the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Cádiz. Construction of the theater began in 1884, following plans by architect Adolfo Morales de los Ríos.
A beautiful old theatre in the heart of the old town of Cadiz. We saw the most amazing dance program here by Rafaela Carrasco.
Cadiz, without its theatre performance, is nothing but a touristic destination. Cultural performances like the one on Dec 2nd by Toma Castana and his fantastic team make a huge difference.

Catedral de Cádiz is a stunning architectural masterpiece that showcases baroque, rococo, and neoclassical styles. It took 110 years to build and stands as a symbol of the city's resilience after being decimated in the 16th century. The cathedral's gold dome dominates the neighborhood, offering dramatic views from its bell tower climb.
Majestic and grandiose with on Old World Flair. The bell tower is a must do, the views are magnificent. The square directly in front is an ideal spot lace to have tapas and drinks. Music, vendors and charm abound!

Nice cathedral in colonial style. The entry ticket costs 10€, a bit expensive but I recommend to visit inside. Outside there are many restaurants, i consider them more touristic places and I suggest to just walk few meters and you can find more choices and less touristic.
Decided to walk from the Port and found myself at the wonderful Catedral de Cádiz. 10 euros to enter or $11.80 US dollars which includes the Catedral and the conservatory. I paid at the entry and after a little conversation the receptionist gave me an audio guide in English. I stopped at each station and listened and admired the historical record. The Catedral was a unique and interesting place. I ventured to the conservatory after making a small purchase of a magnet for my daughter. Be mindful the ramp/walkway is not easy but worth every step. The view from the top is mesmerizing. I was blessed to catch it at sunset. You can see God in every aspect of His earth and creation. I stood in awe at this picture which will remain in my minds eye forever.
Cádiz Cathedral is a very impressive and monumental building, uniquely placed so close to the sea and is beautiful both inside and out. The views of the city from the bell tower are spectacular and the crypt is not to be missed. The first time we were there the Christmas Crib was still in place and it was stunning. My favourite part are the two angles on both sides. Lots of good artwork and the silver on display is amazing.
While on RCCL Explorer OTS Transatlantic West 2025 we stopped at Cadiz. It was an easy and fun port for sightseeing and walking. It you like old architecture and history the Cathedral is a must visit. There is also a Jesuit church nearby that is 0 KM of the El Camino de Santiago route from the southwest of Spain. Lots of history to explore. We enjoyed the musicians that performed in front of the cathedral.
Very classic cathedral with an incredible interior. The views from the top of the tower are the best in the city and we'll worth the clomb
Arrived in Cádiz to drizzle so headed for the Cathedral, around 12Euro to gain entry, for additional charge you can opt for an audio guide. Toilets on site but long long queues!
Entry price always gains you access to the bell tower, no steps but graduated slopes, 72 of them, the bells charm every 15 minutes, great views!
Not too busy compared the other major cathedrals in Southern Spain. In many ways, the interior is more fascinating than it's more famous counterparts.
Don't forget that your ticket includes the climb up to the bell tower, and the VR experience.

Picture this: you’re standing in the heart of Cádiz’s old town, surrounded by history, and you step into a time machine disguised as a museum. The Cádiz Museum blew me away with its treasures, from eerie Phoenician sarcophagi to vibrant Baroque paintings by Zurbarán. The ground floor’s archaeology section is like a journey back to 1100 BC, with artifacts that whisper tales of ancient Cádiz as a bustling Phoenician hub. Did you know the male sarcophagus found in 1887 sparked the creation of this very museum? For just €1.50 (free for EU citizens with ID), you get access to this cultural goldmine on Plaza de Mina. Pro tip: bring a translation app, as some signs are Spanish-only. Also, check the website for current hours, as renovations might limit access to some floors. Don’t rush—give yourself at least an hour to soak it all in! What’s your favorite artifact here?
Interesting collection of sculptures and artifacts from Roman and era before. It would have been also interesting if museum could include the history of transatlantic slavery aswell.
Great experience. We went to the Hercules shop in town and bought a beautiful ring moulded from an original Roman ring. We were told that we could see the original in the museum. It’s free entry which was unusual for us! And the exhibits were gorgeous, particularly the display of jewellery and pottery.
Although the place is undergoing extensive refurbishment due to filtration & humidity, the ground floor & third floor are partially open. Ground floor exhibits some Phoenician artefacts; Roman except the big marble sculptures & some objects from the time of the Caliphates in Andalusia. None of the great Spanish masters are exposed. The third floor has a nice collection of XIX century puppets, from a famous theatre.
Two 5th century BC Phoenician marble sarcophagi currently in the Museo de Cádiz in Cádiz, Spain, are thought to have originated in Sidon, Lebanon. A famous set of "Tia Norica" puppet skits, once used during the annual carnival of Cádiz, Spain, are ALSO exhibited in the museum. In one example the bull is getting the better of the bullfighter. Puppet shows are popular in Cádiz around Christmas.
Free Roman archaeological exhibit, good way to kill the 20-30 minutes. Small exhibit.
Visited first floor archaeology section informative and interesting.

Located in Cadiz, Spain, Castillo de San Sebastian is a former island fortress that has been transformed into a hub for historical exhibits, concerts, and cultural events. The castle offers stunning views of the Atlantic and La Caleta beach. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the coast to reach Santa Catalina Castle, the oldest fortress in Cadiz.
Great place to see Cadiz from a distance. No tickets needed. Due to its nature, I recommend checking tide times as it's a lot more attractive to visit during high tide😉 Ideal spot to watch the Atlantic during storms 👌🏻 We've been lucky on this front and saw it in very windy days🌊🌊👌🏻 It was interesting to observe huge difference in conditions between south and north side of the walkway. Could be difficult to make it all the way in and out without getting wet, so be prepared for a challenge during high tide on windy days😉
Aleksander R — Google review
A really cool place to visit. The views are spectacular and it’s amazing to see the history and style of the buildings. Free entry as well!
Nice view of the city from the castle. However, the most fun we had was when walking to the castle via this narrow sea bridge. The wind was crazy and the waves were crushing along the way, soaking us so we had to run in some places. We spend around one hour here. There’s no bathroom and the castle is free entrance.
Another great spot to walk around, enjoy the view, but nearly no information other than a couple of very general information posters. But this seems like a locals spot to relax around, especially the narrow path to get to it. Small sand bars and kids jumping off the bridge into the water.
We had a great family walk to Castillo de San Sebastian with 3 dogs. Comfortable weather and temperaturen, slightly windy on a summer day. Highly recommended.
A decent boardwalk from the beach leading to the "castle", although mostly ruins with a platform circling the waters edge. All the same a very pleasant walk and great views back to the city and beach especially in the glorious weather we had.
You can walk the grounds and go to the top for amazing views but you can't enter any of the buildings. I would've like a guided tour and seen the inside. Wear comfortable shoes!
The Castillo de San Sebastian (1706) occupies a tiny island off Playa de La Caleta at the westernmost point of Cádiz, Spain. Its artillery was intended to protect the city from hostile ships approaching from the west. The castle is largely abandoned but still accessible to the public. The entrance is always open, inviting the curious to come in. It's on a small island off Playa de La Caleta, accessible via Paseo Fernando Quiñones. It's an interesting one-kilometer walk.

This 18th-century walk consists of three streets divided by rows of trees and features intriguing sculptures. The park offers mosaic benches, extraordinary plant species, and a wide promenade paved with different patterned plates.
Beautiful park by the sea! Lots of shady seating areas to rest! Beautiful flowers and some very old trees!!

This place is even more picturesque that the photos lead you to believe. Totally worth a visit, take some snacks, and just spend a little time in the park to relax and people watch.
Really pretty gardens to wander around if you've had enough of lying on the beach. Good views out over the sea as well.
An absolutely beautiful and well maintained park on the north side of Cadiz. It's small but packs a lot of punch with numerous fountains, sculptures and an amazing variety of flora and fauna including two giant ficus trees that came from Cuba. You'll also get great views of the ocean and some respite from the sun in the shade of the trees.
Cute park with amazing trees. The walkway is also really cool with lots of detail.
Very well-maintained garden with stunning trees. Could be stormy due to oceanic winds, yet a must-visit in Cadiz
A beautiful park with an amazing view on the Atlantic Ocean in Cádiz. It’s amazing to walk along the water here. The park itself is very colorful and has a variety of options for sitting in the shade or the sun with a view on the water or not. There are also a few statues and fountains that are nice to look at. All in all would recommend visiting here when in Cádiz.
Beautiful place to sit in the shade and watch world go by.

This historic church, known as the Old Cathedral of Cádiz, is an absolute gem in the heart of the city. The architecture is stunning, with beautiful vaulted ceilings and an impressive baroque altar. The atmosphere inside is peaceful and contemplative, perfect for reflection. It's remarkable to think about its rich history dating back centuries. A must-visit for anyone interested in religious art and Spanish colonial heritage.

I didn’t go inside as it was past 4:30pm and I still have a few places that I want to see before the sun sets. The exterior of the cathedral is beautiful especially with the sunlight so I took photos from different angle outside of the cathedral.
These 'working' churches that haven't been completely renovated and are frequently used by locals for worship are an excellent find. Very interesting and beautiful to view.
The old cathedral of Cadiz is a worthwhile stop for a few minutes particularly since it is less busy than the Cathedral. Beautiful interior and a quiet(er) place away from the majority of the tourist.
A nice historical place to see in Cadiz.
Amazing sculptures...worth the trip just to see them
Surprising and interesting. The interior is obviously very old, converted from a mosque after the re conquest. The religious sculptures are amazing and to a non catholic they are really weird
One of the monuments of Reconquista in Cádiz, the “Old cathedral”, hidden behind the “New one”, mosque turned into a catholic church.

Originally built in the 16th century and later reconstructed due to damage, this small church boasts a beautiful exterior and an impressive interior with magnificent sculpture work and beautifully carved wood altars.
A wonderful small church located near the cathedral and a must visit if you body the cathedral. It was part of the Jesuit college and the interior looks magnificent. It can go easily unnoticed. The sculpture work inside is magnificent. A must visit in Cadiz.

A small but charming church located right in Cathedral Square, making it easy to visit alongside the main cathedral. The church has historical importance and features some beautiful religious elements inside. The proximity to the cathedral gives it a special atmosphere steeped in centuries of tradition. The interior is intimate and conducive to prayer and reflection. It's interesting to see how this modest church complements the grandeur of the nearby cathedral. A lovely stop for those exploring the historic heart of Cádiz and its religious heritage.
Free entry into this charming small church. Of course this can’t be compared to the cathedral which is literally right next to it, but it’s still worth the visit. I enjoy seeing the relics. And it is not too crowded which is good.
Beautiful chapel and daily masses. Cathedral only on Sundays or in summer Saturdays and Sundays.
The Iglesia de Santiago Apóstol, also known as the Baroque Santiago Church or the Church of Santiago, Cadiz, faces south-east into Plaza de la Catedralas (Cathedral Square) and located directly next to Cadiz Cathedral which faces north-east into the plaza. Based on designs by Jesuit brother Alonso Romero, the church was built in 1635. It doesn't look much at all from the outside however inside is a different story. The interior is dramatic with spectacular wood carved altarpieces and sculptures from 17th and 18th century and houses a number of baroque works of some famous local artists like Alejandro de Saavedra. Sadly it was closed when I was last in Cadiz however, I managed to get a snap of it's bell tower from the top of Cadiz Cathedral.
A beautiful church we came across by accident in the square in front of cathederal. Free entry too. Lots of very ornate detailed artefacts and paintings. Well worth a visit.
Very unique cathedral. All the work inside is wood not marble
Built in 1635 the altar with Santiago the Moor slayer is very beautiful as are all figures in this charming Church. It's the starting point of the Camíno de Santiago which is well signed as it winds its way out of Old Town. When leaving Church head towards left hand side of Cathedral and climb stairs to pick up the Camíno. Beautiful setting with lively square so close to the seaside walkway.
City park
When visiting Cadiz, make sure to explore Plaza de España, a significant square in the city. The main attraction here is a grand monument that commemorates the signing of Spain's first constitution in 1812. As you stroll through the area, take note of other notable landmarks such as San Juan de Dios and Plaza de San Antonio. The Monument to the Constitution of 1812, also known as Monumento a las Cortes, is a must-see at Plaza de España.

Situated near Mercado de las Flores, it shares space with Museo de los Titeres. The site showcases the oldest archaeological remains of the western Mediterranean, including two blocks and eight houses from the ancient Phoenician city, along with human remains and exhibitions.
Laura was a great bi-lingual guide! Very friendly and informative. The place was well-designed, with a short video to explain Phoenician history. Also there’s a cat skeleton… thank you Laura for showing us where it died. 🫡☺️

Very informative and well-planed museum, featuring ancient Phoenician city. The staff can speak English pretty well and answer your questions kindly. The tour starts with a eye-catching video and explains the history of the city and then you can start visiting the museum, the information panels are detailed, although the museum isn’t big you could still spend an hour inside because the tour is very well-planed, overall it’s a very good experience. And it’s FREE of charge!
This is a small but very interesting archeological site. It is well set out and the information is in English as well as other languages. You will get to see the skeleton of a poor soul who broke his leg trying, and sadly failing, to escape a fire. I think his remains are where he fell.
There's a short film to set the scene and this helps you understand the visit.
I only met one m member of staff who was very friendl and helpful.
Amazingly this is all free. You need to book ahead which you can do on site. If not too busy you could be in on the next hour.
This is a great way to spend an hour or so and with the wonderful market just around the corner, combined this is a great way to spend an afternoon.
Small but well organized, and good facilities. The staff was helpful and informative. Worth the short visit
We learned about the museum through the programme of Cádiz Romana (see screenshot). When we went this afternoon (25 september), there was a notice that today it is only accessible from 16:00. When we asked at the ticket office, it turned out that not only were the horarios incorrect, all the slots for later today, from 16:00, were fully booked. Apparently, reservations ahead are necessary. And reservations can only be done at the ticket office. In the morning. For the same day.
None of this information is mentioned in Cádiz Romana, nor is it clear on the website of the Yacimiento. Very disappointing. Please improve this information to avoid disappointing others in this way.
You will be able to walk over one of the oldest Phoenician settlements found in the West. The site is divided into different levels, corresponding to the different periods of occupation of the settlement, in which the layout of the streets, the houses and the tools of the 9th century BC can be seen. It is fascinating to see the fossilized footprints of cattle that crossed these roads and the remains of a Phoenician male. In addition to these Phoenician ruins, you will see the ruins of a Roman fish processing factory. Free entry, check their website to find out how to reserve a ticket at the ticket booth. The staff are friendly.
Definitely worth a visit! Learn about Cadiz (Roman) = Gadir (Phoenicians). Beautifully displayed with an interesting video before. Get your Free tickets ahead. It’s air conditioned and there were very little people in our 5:00 pm showing. Enjoy !
FOR FREE! Just come to special time (13.00, 16.00 or 19.00), because the entrance is in small groups. You need only 50 minutes to visit it, its really small! Great place to imagine yourself some tausends of years before! Its not a museum, but just some archaeologian excavations, so it will be interesting for EVERYBODY, also children! EVEN IF YOU FIND MUSEUMS BORING, YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO VISIT THIS PLACE! You will see the bones of the oldest cat in Europe!

The Teatro Romano de Cádiz, also known as Balbi Theatre, is an ancient Roman theater dating back to 70 BC. Discovered in 1980 in the El Populo district of Cadiz, it is one of the largest and oldest Roman theaters found in the Iberian Peninsula. The theater was built by Lucius Cornelius Balbus, an advisor to Julius Caesar, and his nephew.
Fantastic views across the Roman amphitheater. It was free to enter on the day we visited. We loved the underground tunnel. Sadly we missed the video which my mum highly recommends watching if you can.

Free entry and very interesting! you can walk through the old Roman passage and see the ancient seating area. Doesn’t take long to visit, but definitely worth a stop while exploring Cádiz.
I loved this place.
Walking in the path of the Romans.
Reminds me of Catania, Sicily.
Excellent explanations.
What’s more friendly staff and free of charge.
A privilege to have visited 🙏
Free entrance which is always good. Can clearly see the theatre seating area as you can walk out into the seating locations.
Limited to likely a 15 min stay though
Very nice theatre ruins for every one to see. No tickets needed. Free entry. Everything takes 20 mins to see. Nice visit.
The Cathedral is beautiful and well maintained and the tower gives the best views of the City!
Having seen many Roman theaters, this still was quite wonderful and it's free to boot! Well worth a visit!
The Teatro Romano de Cádiz next to the old cathedral of Cádiz, Spain, was only rediscovered in 1980. It functioned for 400 years from the 1st century BC to the 3rd AD. Subterranean corridors provide access. It's claims to be the second largest ancient Roman theater in the world (after that of Pompeii).

Oratorio de la Santa Cueva is a Christian oratory in Cadiz, Spain, dating back to around 1730. It consists of two chapels and is adorned with beautiful art. Despite its unassuming facade, this oratory holds historical significance as it belonged to the Spiritual Withdrawal Congregation in the 18th century. The Museum of Cadiz nearby offers insights into the city's history and features works by renowned artists like Murillo and Rubens.
Came to visit here but initially visited Parroquia Nuestra Señora del Rosario, almost next door, by mistake. (The latter is, nevertheless, well worth visiting.)
The Oratorio is something else. A small chapel in a cave, a first floor museum, and a stunning chapel on the second floor. The latter houses beautiful pieces by Goya and Velazquez, plus the stunning altar itself.
Despite its small space, this is more special than the cathedral. Well worth the €5 entrance fee.

Stumbled on this because Bellas Artes museum was closed for repairs - 21 May 2025. Fascinating story behind its origin; even for a non-historian. Very beautiful and well presented multilingual signs/descriptions.
Wow. We almost missed this place because it’s so discreet compared to bombast of the cathedrals. It would have been such a shame because when you get to see the sheer splendour and humility of this great church you can see exactly why this should move to your number 1 place to visit. Artwork by Goya is just one of the many reasons to spend the €5 entry fee.
Santa cueva or Holy Cabe is a small space dedicated for mediation and it has a small museum. Built in the 18th century it has a small chapel with beautiful marble works. Nice architecture and nice design and good paintings. It has 3 levels. Lower level chapel, middle level museum and upper level chapel.
The Goya art is worth a look. The chapel is pretty. The English audio guide is dreadful.
When you walk around town, we came across this place. From the street is not visible, you have to go inside. Wow wonderful place. Don't missed it when you in Cadiz. Big thanks from B+B at Sunbury Cove Winery CA
Amazing place, nearly hidden, interesting underground church, but upstairs it’s just beautiful, it’s a church but it also feels like if had stepped in a royal palace.
Such a mysterious place and an insight into Women’s History which is often lost and a place people used to survive the Civil
War. 3 euros with a short video introduction and notes in English, French and Spanish to understand more. Women lived and self organised their lives here and more recently it was a place of training for vulnerable women but there are only clues … it’s enigmatic.

The Catacumbas del Beaterio in Cadiz is a 17th-century underground burial site originally used by Franciscan friars to bury lay sisters. The catacombs survived an explosion that destroyed the building above them in the mid-19th century and are now open for tours. Visitors can explore the underground gallery, six meters below ground, adorned with engravings and drawings. Historical objects and war weapons found in the area are also on display.
One of the best tours I have ever had. Jesús was amazing! He tells a great story, very friendly, and his English is fantastic!

Would give 0 stars if possible. Unable to contact them for tickets. My hotel tried to contact them on my behalf with the same results.
Was my top attraction for the visit to Cadiz, so I am very disappointed.
Non-Spanish speakers will be at a disadvantage here. We booked the 4 of us in advance, it said on the website the guide was going to be speaking Spanish and English, I even sent an e-mail beforehand on the day to make sure the need for English speaking was well received, and…surprise surprise, as we arrived our guide literally said to me “I won’t do the tour in English because the group is too big”. There were 6 Spanish-speaking guests and the 4 of us English-speaking. Quite a balance, no? We got a little bit of explanation in English just because i insisted. The experience was not great and my friends got bored quickly. Really sad about this. I suggest they remove the promise they make on the website - for a guide in Spanish - English, because it’s simply not true.
Otherwise, the catacumbas are fascinating, smaller than expected - 3 rooms. There was not much walking around in the underground, so less atmospheric than expected. Nonetheless fascinating. Probably more so if I had understood the explanations in the first place !
This is a fascinating place with a half-told history, that sadly is not fully historically registered, giving a bit room for speculation.
The best of the tour was the attentive guide, who showed her personal enthusiasm. Sadly, this is a privately owned place, and I was left wondering why the local government & archeological institutions have not shown interest in funding or making further research.
The entrance is not very obvious - it's in the courtyard of a house, if the door is locked there is a phone number you can ring. A small place (4 rooms), nice for a quick visit, kids enjoyed exploring it. There is some information in English and Spanish on the wall in each room, enough to learn about the purpose of each room and some interesting details. The ticket cost 3EUR/person.
Im not sure if there is an english tour, but it is worthy to visit the catacumbs and specially its guide, that has been working on them for so long. You can ask him many questions about the past history and misteries of Cádiz and another ancient cities.
No signs, the receptionist does not speak English, did not sell us tickets at 5 o'clock, said to come at 7 o'clock, when we came at 7 said that we needed a reservation... And that we cannot go in. An absolute joke
Terrible place. Rip off. Not free as advertised and completely unorganised staff.

Visitors can explore the history of puppetry through guided tours and exhibits featuring intricately handcrafted puppets with their own unique backstories. The museum also offers insight into the art of puppet-making through workshops and a library dedicated to this traditional craft.
This puppet museum is small, FREE, and fantastic. I really really like it (and I hate dolls and I hate puppets). They have puppets from all over the world. highly recommend you spend 30 to 60 minutes here.

A bit tricky to find, small door in busy traffic circle. Gratis entry (!). A small but unique little museum, upstairs. Cordial greeting and in you go. Puppets of all kinds in several rooms, very well done mostly. Wood, ceramic, mache, clothe. If you're in a hurry, don't bother with it. See the big catedral, Roman theatre, promenade for sure. IF you have a spare hour, some energy, a cute place to visit. Reminds me a bit of the Fallas museum(s) in Valencia. A unique, interesting, pleasant, and more important, memorable, surprise.
Very interesting place. I was surprised to see the masked puppet from Nepal as well. There is a collection of puppets from different parts of the world.
Wonderful place! Interesting collection! Free entry!
Interesting puppet collection from all around the world. If you are in the area, it is worth stopping by. It can be seen in 15-20 minutes. Free entry
Very nice place - small museum (no more than 1 hour for visiting!) and very interesting, great for children! IT IS FREE! You can touch dolls and watch their fantastic dresses very nearly. Dolls from all over the world!
Even if you are not interested in puppets this is a wonderful museum to visit when visiting Cadiz. Entry is free and the exhibitions are well presented.
Lovely building and amazing collection of puppets from around the world.....and it's free

The church, housed in a former hospital building, boasts stunning interior decorations and is well worth a visit despite its unassuming exterior.

A beautiful and intimate church located right next to the old Misericordia Hospital. The baroque altar is particularly stunning, featuring intricate golden details and religious artwork. The church maintains a serene atmosphere that invites quiet contemplation. The historical significance of this place combined with its artistic beauty makes it truly special.

When visiting Cadiz, don't miss out on the historical and picturesque Murallas De San Carlos. Dating back to the late 18th century, these fortifications were originally built for defense but now offer a tranquil pathway with stunning ocean views. The Baluarte de San Carlos, a significant part of the fortifications, was designed by Antonio Hurtado.
We had a good time - except it was raining lots and we had to be extra careful because the walkways were very slippery. This was due to a combination of rain and both small tiles and marble pavers which were shiny and dangerous. We didnt get to see very much - even those who went in TukTuks or took the Hop on Hop off buses weren't able to see much due to the rain

Nice historical area
A wonderful day visit on a cruise stop off
a must do when you go to Cadiz. Nice views. Historical strategical point, Cadiz was an important port already at the time of the Phenicians.
Little walk along the ocean lined with old canons, nice views but nothing special.
Bit slow to serve but well worth the wait. Friendly and great food
It is interesting to see. And very nice park is near.

In the 11th centrury, when Cádiz, Spain, was under Moorish rule, the Arco del Pópulo off Calle Pelota was the Sea Gate to the medina. The original horseshoe arch and flanking turrets have long since disappeared.
Interesting place with a very good restaurant conveniently nearby
Easy to miss
(Translated by Google) Formerly known as the Main Gate of the Town or the Sea Gate, since the waters of the Bay reached it very close, forming the Port of Cadiz.
Built between the 10th and 12th centuries during the Almohad period, like the rest of the Walls, one of its arches is thought to have been horseshoe-shaped.

Denominado antiguamente Puerta Principal de la Villa o Puerta de la Mar, puesto que muy cerca de ella llegaban las aguas de la Bahía constituyendo el Puerto de Cadiz.
Construídas entre los S.X al XII durante el periodo Almohade, como el resto de las Murallas, se piensa que uno de sus arcos pudo ser de herradura.

Two huge strangler figs (Ficus macrophylla) stand in front of buildings belonging to the Universidad de Cádiz opposite Playa de La Caleta in Cádiz, Spain. A local legend claims that the two "Ficus del Mora" were planted in 1903 in memory of a nun who had brought the seedlings from America before her death.
Very impressive trees, one of the lower branches is as big as the trunk of a sugar maple and supported by a small metal structure.
Very beautiful and big tree!!
The biggest trees I have seen in my life. Huge...cover entire streets.
Impressive, relatively young, ficus trees showing the robust growth possible of these trees in salutary climes.
Beautiful also to see the two harborside castles that protected Cadiz, as well as the many young people milling about that come here for the beach, errrr, I mean their education! 😄. Similar to students from the mainland US, aside from those studying travel industry management or marine biology, that come to be students at the University of Hawaii!

Peña Flamenca la Perla de Cádiz is a cavernous music hall in the heart of Cadiz, offering flamenco shows two to three times a week. The performances are vibrant and lively, often featuring multiple dancers on stage simultaneously, providing an excellent introduction to this integral part of Andalusian culture. Located on Calle Carlos Ollero, it is considered the most popular spot to experience flamenco in the city.
Although I didn’t understand much of the singing the atmosphere was superb. Everyone was taking part and enjoying the show. It was my first time seeing this and and if you can get the opportunity to see it then do, it’s fun and entertaining. There were free mussels and beer on offer but the queue was too long for us to join.

Nice atmosphere, nice people, nice food. Singers not on time but I am drunk already with the Canasta wine. Order Manzanilla to get to experience flamenco in his true form!
Fantastic Flamenco, passionate place, only accepts cash but priced very reasonably. Food and drink available. This is my fourth visit and never been disappointed. Getting tickets is hard as it sells out but so much better then the classic arranged flamenco evening with meal.
First you need to book ahead and be present between 9- 9:15 pm it's ok if you are a patron they take cash and the entrance fee is 10euro per head the early you reserve you get the best seats you need to order ahead at the bar the prices are least expensive and the place is historical, the main treat is the Flamenco the talent on display is the best you can choose which day you want to go as many artists display their trade here every week , we had a good view and enjoyed the Flamenco performance by all the artists to the fullest
If you get the opportunity, go to a show here. Small money for a really authentic experience. Don’t expect table service or high quality food, it’s all about local people enjoying local talent. Take it for what it is.
**An Authentic Flamenco Experience – Peña Flamenca Perla de Cádiz**
This is not just a venue — it’s a true meeting point for locals, full of warmth and culture. The atmosphere is welcoming and lively, with simple bites like **“montaditos” sandwiches, crisps, and drinks**, but the real highlight is the **flamenco session**: passionate, authentic, and filled with tradition.
By chance, we met the director of the Peña at the bar across the street, and he kindly invited us to join. That gesture made the night even more special.
Truly, an unforgettable experience — one of the best ways to connect with the heart of Cádiz and its flamenco sooul.
The atmosphere was great but the flamenco wasn't the best. Our performance was a "modern" flamenco and I wasn't impressed at all. For me, the back up band was better at the end when they were finishing up
If you by any chance get the place there (reservations on line or by phone,often they dont have enough space for all wanting to go) - DO GO!! Its an amazing experience,impossible to forget.The touch of something deeply human,moving and real.

Nice walk, but better with high tide.
Just a short walk from the Cadiz cathedral. It has a restaurant there where we wanted to have lunch. After we sat down we're told they were closed. We saw the chairs/tables were folded up and taken inside. About half an hour later we came back from walking the pier and fortress, everything was gone, you couldn't tell there was actually a restaurant there where half an hour ago people were sitting there eating. It was like in a movie.
I know they have music there on Fridays. We ca.e in for drinks and some tapas. They were good.

An impressive neoclassical church with distinctive twin towers that dominate the skyline of this part of Cádiz. The facade and architectural design are truly remarkable, showing the transition from baroque to neoclassical styles. Inside, the church features beautiful columns and a sense of spaciousness that invites contemplation. The parish has been serving the community for over two centuries with dedication. The location near Plaza de Arena makes it easily accessible. A significant landmark representing the architectural heritage of Cádiz.
Found this church completely unexpectedly. I’m also very surprised that this is not a place that’s listed in any guides or listings as something to see in Cadiz! This is definitely worth the visit. The statues and relics are beautiful. There’s also an area that’s feels like outdoor with a glass ceiling with sunlight. There a small chapel inside with a dome shape ceiling.
What a beautiful and holy church, visited twice and didn’t want to leave..stunning churches in Cadiz Spain.
A very beautiful church. Beautiful style inside and nice peace when you enter.

(Translated by Google) Puertas de Tierra, the entrance to Cádiz, the part of the old town. Very pretty and at night the fountain is colorful. I love everything about Cadiz

Catholic church
Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Palma is a hidden gem nestled among ordinary houses. Once inside, the church reveals its stunning interior, adorned with saints, Christs, and Madonnas as if they were attending a grand celebration. The abundance of gold accents adds to its Spanish charm. Steeped in history and tradition, it is said that the tsunami from the Lisbon earthquake reached the base of this church.
(Translated by Google) Its origins date back to the end of the 17th century and are linked to the order of the Capuchins and the public rosaries promoted by Fray Pablo of Cádiz. The brotherhood of the Virgen de la Palma, the oldest in the city, was founded there.
The current church was built in the 18th century.
It has a rectangular façade framed by Calle de la Palma, with a doorway flanked by Tuscan pilasters. Its square bell tower stands out, decorated with pilasters and topped by a spire covered with Sevillian tiles from the 18th century. Inside it houses a small image of the Virgin of La Palma, a polychrome sculpture from the late 17th century.
The church is the headquarters of the Royal Sacramental Archconfraternity of Nuestra Señora de la Palma Coronada and the brotherhoods of the Santísimo Cristo de la Misericordia and María Santísima de las Penas Coronada and del Santo Entierro and María Santísima de la Soledad.
Inside there is a small alabaster font with a relief that represents Calvary, a work of the 17th century Italian school.
If you are in Cádiz, I recommend visiting this church and enjoying its history, architecture and art.
(Original)
Sus orígenes se remontan a finales del siglo XVII y están ligados a la orden de los capuchinos y a los rosarios públicos promovidos por Fray Pablo de Cádiz. La cofradía de la Virgen de la Palma, la más antigua de la ciudad, se fundó allí.
La iglesia actual se construyó en el siglo XVIII.
Presenta una fachada rectangular enmarcada por la calle de la Palma, con portada flanqueada por pilastras toscanas. Destaca su torre campanario de planta cuadrada, decorada con pilastras y rematada por un chapitel cubierto de azulejos sevillanos del siglo XVIII. En su interior alberga una pequeña imagen de la Virgen de la Palma, una escultura policromada de finales del siglo XVII.
La iglesia es sede de la Real Archicofradía Sacramental de Nuestra Señora de la Palma Coronada y de las cofradías del Santísimo Cristo de la Misericordia y María Santísima de las Penas Coronada y del Santo Entierro y María Santísima de la Soledad.
En su interior se encuentra una pequeña pila de alabastro con un relieve que representa el Calvario, obra de la escuela italiana del siglo XVII.

Nothing exciting and closed to the general public
Pretty parish church which you could miss if you don't keep your eyes open.
(Translated by Google) A completely inconspicuous church,
almost hidden between normal houses.
But the interior presents itself as a beautiful church.
We were lucky enough to be present at a national baptism,
a moving event.
A visit is definitely worth it!
(Original)
Eine völlig unscheinbare Kirche,
zwischen ganz normalen Häusern fast versteckt.
Die sich dann aber im Innenraum als wunderschöne Kirche präsentiert.
Wir hatten das Glück bei einer Landesüblichen Taufe anwesend zu sein,
ein bewegendes Ereignis.
Ein Besuch lohnt sich unbedingt!
(Translated by Google) In the popular neighborhood of La Viña we find this collected parish that houses inside the image with great devotion of faithful and devotees of the Lady of Palma which gives its name to this Catholic temple, with special relevance the crucifix as well as the banner that was processed in the tsunami prior to the Lisbon earthquakes due to the flooding of the neighborhood by the tide.
(Original)
En el popular barrio de la Viña encontramos esta parroquía recogida que alberga en su interior la imagen con gran devoción de fieles y devotos de la Señora de Palma la cual da nombre a este templo católico, como especial relevancia el crucifijo así como estandarte que procesionó en el maremoto previo a los terremotos de Lisboa ante la inundación del barrio por parte de la marea.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful parish in one of its beautiful streets in the center, the shame is the priest who runs it, I went to a wedding and before the bride and groom left they were already closing both doors, they practically kicked them out of the parish, once outside they didn't care either They left time for them, with a desire to take center stage in an emotional moment, the priest went out to sweep without having another moment in the day. Not even 5m after being “kicked out” did they leave them a minute of privacy. During the image their relatives were giving them a surprise with a song, the bride was crying and the priest was sweeping….
(Original)
Preciosa parroquia en una de sus preciosas calles del centro , la pena es el cura que lo dirige, acudí a una boda y antes de que salieran los novios ya les estaban cerrando ambas puertas , prácticamente los echaron de la parroquia , una vez fuera tampoco le dejaron tiempo para ellos , con afán de protagonismo en un momento emotivo , salió el cura a barrer sin tener otro momento en el día . Ni 5m después de ser “echados” les dejaron un minuto de privacidad . Durante la imagen estaban sus familiares dándoles una sorpresa con una canción , la novia llorando y el cura barriendo….
(Translated by Google) In the heart of the Viña neighborhood, at the end of San Nicolás Street, you find this small parish. Very pretty and well cared for. If you go in
Lent time, they have their doors open to expose their owners. Our Lady of La Palma is a beautiful image of the Virgin. A good place to stop along the way, perhaps to ask the Virgin for something, repent of something or simply talk to HER. Or take some photos to remember.
(Original)
En pleno barrio de la Viña, al final de la calle San Nicolás, te encuentras con esta pequeña parroquia. Muy bonita y bien cuidada. Si vas en
tiempo de Cuaresma, tienen sus puertas abiertas para exponer a sus titulares. Nuestra Sra.de la Palma es una imagen preciosa de la Virgen. Un buen lugar donde hacer un alto en el camino, quizás para pedirle algo a la virgen, arrepentirte de alguna cosilla o simplemente hablar con ELLA. O hacer algunas fotos para el recuerdo.

C. Artistas Petróleo y Salvaora, 2, 11002 Cádiz, Spain•
In Cadiz, the city's local charm can be best experienced by exploring its lesser-known spots and cultural traditions. One of the remarkable features is a beautiful embankment adorned with majestic trees, flowering bushes, and numerous benches for relaxation. Among these impressive trees is the Magnolia Grandiflora, which stands out as one of Andalucia's most striking specimens.
Super little urban park, walkway, ocean viewpoint, awesome tiled (stark deep blue) benches, and amazing, simply amazing trees. Some branches overhead are super long, hanging over the ocean, how they stay up is amazing (without steel supports).
Definite visit, walk around the seawall, take photos. Incredible place.
Steven W — Google review
2 large trees in the ribbon park. Very pretty but little else to see but okay to sit.
Another cannot be missed out park in Cádiz
Very impressive park with nice views and amazing trees! Definitely worth stopping by.
Amazing tree, must see
I'd never thought I'd be eating a single tree 5/5 but holy hell is this a beautiful tree
Worth the visit. It's a nice old tree
Beautiful Tree!
Historical landmark
Arco de la Rosa, situated near the Cathedral square, is an ancient arch that once served as a gateway to the medieval wall surrounding the city. It was named after a chapel that stood nearby and was dedicated to the Virgin of the Rose. This historic site connected El Populo neighborhood with Plaza de la Tablas, where gallows were once mounted. Today, it stands as a well-preserved structure in close proximity to the Cathedral square, offering visitors a glimpse into the city's rich past.
(Translated by Google) Western gate of the old medieval wall of Cádiz built in the 13th century during the reign of Alfonso X.
It connects the Plaza de la Catedral with the Barrio del Pópulo.
It is assumed that it owes its name to the existence, in another time, of a niche with the image of the Virgin of the Rose, although other versions exist.
(Original)
Puerta occidental de la antigua muralla medieval de Cádiz construida en el S.XIII durante el reinado de Alfonso X.
Conecta la Plaza de la Catedral con el Barrio del Pópulo.
Se supone que debe su nombre a la existencia en otro tiempo, de una hornacina con la imagen de la Virgen de la Rosa, aunque existen otras versiones.

(Translated by Google) Gate of the old walls of Cádiz, it is located next to the beautiful cathedral and gives entrance to the famous Populo neighborhood, which is very worth visiting as it will immerse you in the old Cádiz of narrow streets and full of history.
(Original)
Puerta de las antiguas murallas de Cádiz, está situado junto a la bonita catedral y da entrada al famoso barrio del Populo el cuál merece mucho la pena de visitar ya que te sumergirá en el Cádiz antiguo de calles estrechas y lleno de historia.
(Translated by Google) Located next to the cathedral square, it gives access to the neighborhood known as the populo neighborhood. It was an entrance gate to the medieval wall that surrounded the city. It owes its name to an old chapel that was next to it where the Virgin of the Rose was venerated.
(Original)
Situado junto a la plaza de la catedral, da acceso al conocido como barrio del populo.. Era una puerta de entrada de la muralla medieval que rodeaba la ciudad. Debe su nombre a un antigua capilla que había junto a él donde se veneraba a la Virgen de la Rosa.
(Translated by Google) The Arch of the Rose is an ancient medieval gate from the 13th century, located next to the Cádiz Cathedral in Plaza de Pío XII, in the historic center. Part of the walls of medieval Cádiz, built under Alfonso X the Wise, connects the square with the Pópulo neighborhood. Its name comes, according to theories, from a chapel dedicated to the Virgin of the Rosary (or of the Rose), which housed the image of Our Lady of Miracles, later moved to the Old Cathedral, or from Captain Gaspar de la Rosa, an 18th-century figure. Originally called the Arch of Santiago after the nearby fishing district, it featured an elbow-shaped defensive design with a machicolation and a tower (now gone). Expanded to accommodate carriages, it was restored in 1973 and has been a Site of Cultural Interest since 1985.
(Original)
El Arco de la Rosa es una antigua puerta medieval del siglo XIII, situada junto a la Catedral de Cádiz en la Plaza de Pío XII, en el casco histórico. Parte de las murallas de la Cádiz medieval, construidas bajo Alfonso X el Sabio, conecta la plaza con el barrio del Pópulo. Su nombre proviene, según teorías, de una capilla dedicada a la Virgen del Rosario (o de la Rosa), que albergaba la imagen de Nuestra Señora de los Milagros, trasladada luego a la Catedral Vieja, o del capitán Gaspar de la Rosa, figura del siglo XVIII. Originalmente llamado Arco de Santiago por el arrabal pesquero cercano, presentaba un diseño defensivo en codo con un matacán y una torre (hoy desaparecida). Ampliado para carruajes, fue restaurado en 1973 y es Bien de Interés Cultural desde 1985.
(Translated by Google) Located in the cathedral square, it is one of the arches that give access to the oldest neighborhood in Europe (El Populo neighborhood), in front of this arch there was formerly the small square "of the tables", the place where the gallows were set up and that disappeared in the 20th century to give way to the current
(Original)
Situado en la plaza de la catedral es uno de los arcos que dan acceso al barrio más antiguo de Europa (barrio de el Populo), frente a este arco estaba antiguamente la pequeña plaza "de las mesas", lugar donde se montaba la horca y que desapareció en el siglo XX para dar paso a la actual

Museum
La Casa del Pirata is a fascinating structure that holds a wealth of potential, yet it sadly suffers from neglect. With some care and attention, this building could easily be transformed into a captivating museum experience. A highlight of the visit was the guide, who brought the history to life in an engaging way, particularly for younger visitors. Their enthusiasm made the exploration enjoyable for everyone involved!
(Translated by Google) Interesting building, a shame about the lack of maintenance since it could be transformed into a full-fledged museum. A special mention for the guide who made the visit very enjoyable, especially for the children.
(Original)
Interesante edificio, una pena la falta de mantenimiento ya que se podría transformar en un museo en todas reglas. Una mención especial para el guía que ha hecho la visita muy amena, especialmente para los niños.
Fabio D — Google review
(Translated by Google) The route is unfortunate, it does not explain anything interesting about the building and it is done by a "guide" who has no idea about history or qualifications. And on top of that you have to pay to see very little. I personally have been able to go up to the roof, its spiral stairs and its beautiful living room with its outstanding painting on the ceiling made by the same man who did the one at the Falla theater.
(Original)
La ruta es lamentable, no explica nada interesante del edificio y lo hace por un "guia" que no tiene ni idea de historia ni titulación. Y encima hay que pagar para ver poca cosa. Yo personalmente he podido subir hasta la azotea, sus escaleras de caracol y su precioso salón con su destacada pintura en el techo realizado por el mismo que hizo el del teatro falla.
(Translated by Google) Whose house? It seems like a scam to me that they charge you €6 to show a patio in poor condition.
It is not worth doing the activity at all and I am surprised that the tourist information point recommends it when there are many tourist attractions in Cádiz capital.
(Original)
¿Casa de quien? Me parece un timo que te cobren 6€ por mostrar un patio en mal estado de conservación.
No compensa para nada realizar la actividad y me sorprende que el punto de información turística lo recomiende cuando hay muchísimas atracciones turísticas en Cádiz capital.
(Translated by Google) It seemed like a real joke to me... to charge 6 euros to show a patio, an old cistern and a cool room, in a visit of about 20 minutes. This is how you contribute to sinking the "Spain Brand." I love Cádiz, but this "visit" seemed like a shame to me.
(Original)
Me ha parecido una auténtica tomadura de pelo....cobrar 6 euros por enseñar un patio, un antiguo aljibe y una fresquera, en una visita de unos 20 minutos. Así es como se contribuye a hundir la "Marca España" Adoro Cádiz, pero esta "visita" me ha parecido una verguenza.
(Translated by Google) A real scam. They show you the musty patio of an old farm and its cistern, the kind that abounds in practically the entire historic center of Cadiz. The property is old and has its charm, but it is in a very poor state of conservation.
The pirate's tale is nothing more than an invented and embellished legend without any veracity or historical support.
Please don't fall for this scam, you will waste your time and money.
(Original)
Una verdadera estafa. Te enseñan el patio rancio se una finca antigua y su cisterna de las que abundan en prácticamente todo el casco histórico de Cadiz. La finca es antigua y tiene su encanto, pero se encuentra en muy mal estado de conservación.
El cuento del pirata no es más que una leyenda inventada y adornada sin ninguna veracidad ni sustento histórico.
Por favor no caigas en este engaño, perderás tu tiempo y dinero
(Translated by Google) Disappointing, nothing notable to see either in the supposedly the pirate's house or in the beguinage. Needless to say, to enter the interpretation center you have to enter through a jewelry store.
I would like to know how much money the visit costs, what do you do?
(Original)
Decepcionante nada reseñable que ver ni en la supuestamente la casa del pirata ni en él beaterio. Ni qué decir que para entrar al centro de interpretación tenga que acceder por una joyería.
Me gustaría saber el dinero que cuesta la visita a qué se dedica
(Translated by Google) Disappointing, visit to the patio of the property in a dilapidated state without the possibility of accessing any of the rooms except a cistern and a landing with a printed canvas of a fresco that seems to be in a room. The subsequent visit to an interpretation center located in a jewelry store is also memorable.
(Original)
Decepcionante,visita del patio del inmueble en estado ruinoso sin posibilidad de acceder a ninguna de las dependencias salvo a un aljibe y a un rellano con una lona impresa de un fresco q parece estar en una sala.La visita posterior a un centro d interpretación ubicado en una joyería tb es memorable

Place of worship
Iglesia Parroquial de San Antonio is a charming discovery in Cadiz, dating back to the 17th century. It is situated in a plaza that shares its name, adding to its allure. The church's exterior is described as majestic and beautiful, attracting both locals and foreigners. While it may be hidden, it captivates visitors with its spaciousness and excellent location. Although not explored inside by some, the church remains an impressive sight for all who come across it.

(Translated by Google) The Parish Church of San Antonio is located in the Plaza de San Antonio, it is in the Baroque-historicist style from the 17th to 19th centuries.
Built in 1669, it was subjected to various subsequent reforms, the most important being the one that transformed the main façade in the mid-19th century. The main doorway is a delicate creation from the mid-18th century and inside there are carvings by Luisa Roldán and Jacinto Pimentel.

Baluarte del Orejón is a charming spot that marks the entrance to the pathway leading up to the Castle of San Sebastian. The area features old fish restaurants with a picturesque ambiance, where seagulls line the old crumbling walls and locals mingle as they head to the beach.

(Translated by Google) If you want to know more, continue reading: n a projection between the Caleta gate and the San Pedro Bastion.
The Orejón bastion, pentagonal in shape, was built along with the rest of the bastions around La Caleta between 1621 and 1625, as support for the Santa Catalina castle in the defense of this flank. Its mission was also from its origin to defend the access gate to La Caleta, both the original one located to the north, in the wall that connects it with the Baluarte de San Pedro, and the gate (gate of La Caleta since 1748) located to the south between it and the projecting platform as a semi-bulwark to the south (on which a hermitage to Santa Catalina was built).

Su misión también fue desde su origen defender la puerta de acceso a La Caleta, tanto la primitiva localizada al norte, en el lienzo de muralla que lo une con el Baluarte de San Pedro, como el postigo (puerta de la Caleta desde 1748) ubicado al sur entre él y la plataforma saliente a modo de semi-baluarte al sur (sobre la que se levantaba una ermita a Santa Catalina).
