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.
