It is actually incomprehensible that Cádiz in Spain is still so unknown. And well, maybe it should stay that way because then you have the best port city of Andalusia all to yourself. Enjoy the (often free) sights, the good restaurants, and especially the atmosphere: Spanish with Moorish influences and a touch of Cuban.
Vejer de la Frontera is one of the many white villages in Andalusia, but it is certainly not a twelve-in-a-dozen town. The center is nice and compact, and it feels like the clock is ticking a little slower here. Vejer de la Frontera is definitely worth a visit.
The Cadiz province is the sherry region of Spain. The drink is made and drunk here in abundance. Only sherry made in this region may bear the name sherry. So you should definitely try a sherry tour in the Cádiz and Jerez de la Frontera area, or at least visit a sherry bodega. And if you’re not into sherry, you can join a regular wine tasting too.
Mentioning Bolonia to someone who knows of, or even lives in, the Cádiz region often leads to a dreamy sigh. “Ohhhh, so beautiful!” And that’s true. Bolonia in Spain is beautiful. It is the perfect destination for a sun and sand-drenched day at the beach in Andalusia. And it’s a great hiking option too!
I have the impression that there are more restaurants and bars in Cádiz than there are houses. Lots of tapas bars, and lots of international cuisines. So it’s basically impossible to eat everywhere and give you a complete overview. But I’ve tried quite a few places for you, and the ones below have made it onto my list of favorite restaurants and bars in Cádiz!
What I love about Andalusia is that everyone knows it, and at the same time, there are still many unknown places. The coastal town of Barbate is one of those. Barbate’s highlight? Wow, that’s hard to choose. For me, it’s either the tuna temple or the cliffs of Barbate.
A cute white town on the coast, that’s Conil de la Frontera. Chilling on the beach, walking around town, and eating local specialties. The town is certainly not big, making it perfect for a day trip. Find out what to expect from and do in Conil de la Frontera.
The Costa de la Luz (coast of light) is in southern Spain and has over 3000 (!!) hours of sunshine per year. The area runs from the border with Portugal all the way to Tarifa. That means 270 kilometers of sandy beach. But which of the Costa de la Luz towns should you visit?
