Best Free Tours in Cadiz
With more than 3,000 years of history, this mythical Southern Spanish city stands out as one of the oldest in Europe. To discover all its wonders, join the Free Walking Tours of Cadiz and let a local guide reveal all the secrets of this ancient capital in just a few hours! In particular, we recommend joining the Essential Cadiz City Tour to both first-time visitors and those who want to rediscover the historical center. This walk will take you around the old town to see the Cathedral and many more highlights, but it will also be an introduction to the history, celebrities, gastronomy and musical traditions of the city. In summer, you might want to join a Free Tour of Cadiz by Night to avoid the heat and see the city in a different light. And there are also Free Myths and Legends Tours departing after sunset for those who love spooky stories.
Highlights of a Free Tour in Cadiz
Lord Byron named Cadiz “the Mermaid of the Ocean”, but it’s also popularly called “the Little Silver Cup” due to the silvery reflections of the Atlantic Ocean that washes the beach. Straddling the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, Cadiz flourished for centuries thanks to rich sailors and opulent merchants who decorated the city with delightful squares, gardens, churches and castles. Along Free Tours in Cadiz you will discover all the important landmarks, such as the Gadir Archeological Site, the Museum of Cadiz, the Church of Santa Cruz, Populo Quarter and the 2,000-year-old Roman Theater, which still captivates visitors today. Also, one of the best places in Cadiz to take a stroll is Campo de Sur, a seafront promenade where your eyes will wander between the waves to one side and a row of colorful houses on the other. This place is so beautiful, it has been nicknamed Little Havana.
Things to Do in Cadiz
After visiting the compact old town with Cadiz Free Walking Tours, there’s still a lot of activities to do! First, walk along the serene La Caleta Beach to admire the port from which Christopher Columbus departed on his journey to America, and which was the center of world trade for centuries. Of course, it’s a perfect place to take a swim too! Then, explore some of the “tablaos” in Santa Maria and El Populo quarters to discover one of the world capitals of flamenco. There are also some Free Flamenco Tours in Cadiz worth joining. Additionally, as usually happens in every city of Spain, Cadiz boasts a rich and unique gastronomy where the flavors of Andalusia mix with the freshness of Atlantic produce and the spiciness of Arab cuisine. Go to the Abastos Market to try shrimp fritters or cuttlefish with potato. Or you can head to the beach by night and enjoy fresh fried fish.
