About Cruising to Cadiz

One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe, Cadiz was founded by the Phoenicians in 1100 B.C.E. When you cruise to Spain today, you can find elements of its Phoenician, Roman, Arab and Christian past in spots throughout the city. Omnipresent are the massive 16th-century stone walls, built to protect the city after Sir Francis Drake sacked it. The city's design inspired many Latin American city designers. In particular the similarity to Havana, with its long sea wall and landscaped parks, is so pronounced it has stood in for the Cuban city in several Hollywood movies, including the Bond film, "Die Another Day."

Cadiz is comfortably walkable and offers up lots of pretty squares, shopping and live music played alfresco during the warmer months. And don't forget Cadiz is part of the province of Andalusia, the birthplace of flamenco.

Cadiz Cruise Reviews
Actually stayed in Cadiz- which was best run ashore of the cruise. Lovely old town with fortifications, well preserved Roman theatre and winding streets to explore. Good selection of restaurants at value for money Read More

Cadiz off the ship was right there. Difficult for my wife's mobility scooter due to cobblestones, so I walked alone. Visited the Cathedral and did some shopping. Fun. Read More
