We rented a car on our last day in Seville to take on a road trip around the southern province of Andalusia. We headed south (and a bit west) for our first stop, the coastal city of Cádiz. We stayed in the Old Town section, and it really is old. Cádiz is regarded as the oldest continuously inhabited city in Western Europe.
Every city here has a prominent cathedral. A picture from the plaza.
The view is also pretty great from the other side, and you can see the blend of different architectural styles.
The city is set on a spit of sand surrounded by the ocean, and thus has very few tall buildings. It’s famous for its towers though, as residents of the coastal town needed to keep tabs on shipping traffic off the ocean. The tallest of these is the Tavira Tower at just 45 meters. We went up to take in the view.
Oh, and here’s a castle; it was unfortunately closed when we went by.
