Excursion A guided stroll in cadiz tour at Cadiz

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Cádiz is the Iberian Peninsula's oldest continuously-inhabited city and lies on a narrow spit of land, surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea.


Walking Tour, Plaza de España, 19th-century Palaces, Cathedral

This comprehensive program is entirely on foot from the pier.

Your guided stroll begins at Plaza de España, near the port. As with most other Cádiz squares, the nearby Plaza de la Mina, was formerly a large vegetable garden belonging to the San Francisco Convent. You will stroll past the exterior of the Museum, which contains three sections, including an important archaeological exhibit.

While strolling Calle Ancha (Wide Street), you will view several handsome 19th-century Palaces. Nearby, San Juan de Dios Square is protected by seawalls and features a unique marble fountain. But perhaps the Town Hall is the building that best reflects the grace and style of the city.


After a 40-minute visit to the interior of the impressive Cádiz Cathedral, you may either walk back to the pier or remain in town to continue exploring at your leisure.
