Cadiz - Private Historic Walking Tour

Take a glimpse into the prosperous past of the historic city of Cadiz while exploring important archaeological and historical structures including Tavira Tower and Castle of Santa Catalina.
Stop by the Roman Theatre, dating from the late 1st century BCE. The archaeological site was not unearthed until 1980. These fine remains of Roman culture in Spain offer an excellent insight into the rich Roman history of Cadiz.

Walk by Cadiz Cathedral and Square, the greatest religious architectural work in Cadiz. It was an attempt to reflect the city's affluence as the main trading center with Indies in the past. Its construction took more than one century with many architects involved, each of whom left their imprint of architectural taste throughout the cathedral. What’s more, the square where the cathedral stands is the main cultural hub and gathering point in the historic center of Cádiz.

Next, you will stop by Central Market, a 17th-century landmark that looks old-fashioned, modern, and beautifully functional at the same time. The market, abundant in a variety of goods, is the social center of the city, so you can feel the rhythm of the locals’ lives as you stroll through it.

The next destination is Tavira Tower, the highest point of the city. It was Cádiz’s official watchtower in the 18th century. This symbolic tourist attraction offers a commanding viewpoint, from which the entire historic center of the city can be admired. Its most significant feature is the first camera obscura in Spain, which shows images of various parts of the city on a screen in a darkened chamber.

Visit Grand Theatre Falla, a symbol of artistic excellence for over a century. Walk by this impressive grand building, you will have a chance to admire its striking red brick façade, the large windows with horseshoe arches, and the many details in the Spanish-Arabic style.

As you move on, Genoves Park is the next stop. It is included in the General Catalog of the Historical Heritage of Andalusia. This iconic romantic-style green oasis boasting a stunning botanical and sculptural collection is well worth admiring.

Next, pay a visit to Castle of Santa Catalina, the oldest military construction in Cádiz, which overlooks the sea and is a good example of historic preservation. The famous defensive fortress with stunning structure was declared of Cultural Interest in 1985.

Finish your tour at La Caleta Beach, the most popular beach in Cadiz, right next to the last destination. It is not just an ordinary beach for swimming and sunbathing. This metropolitan beach is famous for not only the fine golden sand but also its beautiful urban surroundings. This place is fitting for strolls and taking pretty pictures.
