Cadiz is a city that will send you spiralling and inevitably result in you falling hopelessly in love with its ancient allure.

Markets, Museums and Magnificence

The Spanish sun shimmers upon the golden dome of Cadiz’s iconic Cathedral, an architectural feast that perches precariously on the edge of the crumbling city walls. The cathedral provides a welcome respite from the hordes of eager tourists that usually populated consecrated cathedrals, so visitors can observe the ecclesiastical treasures and commanding crypts in perfect peace.
