Cadiz

Cadiz is a beautiful Spanish city located almost 400 miles from Madrid and 76 miles south of Seville. This busy port city is a top vacation destination for travelers from around the world. Because of the many different nationalities that have traveled to the port of Cadiz throughout the ages, there is a rather international influence in this small city by the sea.

Many people head to Cadiz in February, when Carnival is held. During Carnival, there’s amazing live music, large crowds, and lots of food, frolic and fun. Another reason why travelers go to Cadiz is to relax on the gorgeous beaches. The city itself is charming and old-world, with cobblestone streets lined with quaint shops and cafes.

There are lots of great places to eat in Cadiz, especially if you’re in the mood for Spanish and Portugese cuisine. However because of the diverse influences found in Cadiz, you’ll find international cuisine as well, inspired perhaps by the many people who’ve landed there. After you’re done with your authentic Spanish meal, how about some culture? The Museo de Cadiz features amazing fine art and ancient antiquities, and only costs around $1.80 to enter.

The nightlife in Cadiz is legendary. The clubs, bars and pubs in Cadiz usually don’t even get started until around 10 p.m. and festivities continue until at least 4 a.m. After 4 a.m., revelers who are still seeking a good time head to El Hoyo, a hot dance club that welcomes locals and tourists alike.

Shopping in Cadiz is a great experience for anyone who’s interested in purchasing a variety of locally made clothing items, jewelry, wicker, decor, art, sculpture, food, and liquor. With the offerings from the charming locally owned shops and markets, it’s easy to take a bit of Cadiz back home with you.

So if you want a vacation destination that features sunny beaches, hot nightlife, quaint shopping, delicious food and lots of heritage and culture, definitely check out Cadiz!
