Cádiz - one of the oldest still inhabited cities in Western Europe
Cádiz is a historic port city located in the Andalusia region of southwestern Spain, on a narrow peninsula that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. The city is considered one of the oldest still inhabited cities in Western Europe, with over 3,000 years of history, making it a place where history, culture and the sea meet on every street corner. Cádiz's old town is labyrinthine, with narrow alleys, small squares and whitewashed houses that give it an almost Caribbean feel. In the center stands the beautiful Cathedral of Cádiz, with its golden dome reflecting in the sea. A promenade runs around the city with views of the Atlantic Ocean, and everywhere you come across historic buildings, churches, castles and remains of old city walls. Despite its small size, Cádiz has a rich cultural life. It is particularly famous for its colorful Carnival celebrations - one of the largest and most lively in Spain - where music, dance and satire fill the streets for several days. Cádiz is surrounded by long sandy beaches such as La Caleta, a charming city beach framed by old fortifications, and Playa de la Victoria, which attracts both locals and tourists with its wide beach and relaxed atmosphere.
