Il panteon dove sono raccolti I resti dei personaggi che hanno fatto la storia della marina spagnola è visitabile con visita guidata. Visita interessante con una guida preparata che racconta un sacco di aneddoti.

Endless white sand... great to swim and stroll along... areas of guarded swimming other areas for surfers and other water sports... more people on the northern section go south to be more isolated... clothing appears optional the further south you go.... intricate lava rock formation towards the south ... a number of bar restaurants along the beach

Archaeological site named Gadir. During the visit you will do a tour where you will be able to see the evolution of the city from its founding by the Phoenicians to Roman times. Right 21st century, an interactive multimedia tour will allow you to see the remains of the ancient Phoenician city built in the 9th century BC, with its dwellings, its streets, its animals, etc.

This is an in-situ archaeological site dating from the Phoenician period. The site contains the remains of some houses with identifiable rooms, storage facilities, a fish processing ,and a crime scene. All the information in presented via (a little over-engineered) high tech videos and touch screen displays.
The only way to visit is via guided tours at set times, so do check before visiting. The principal language is Spanish, but the video will presented in a 2nd language based on the first person to ask. The guides we had on the day spoke excellent English and knew a lot about the archaeology.
A must visit in Cadiz. Best of all, it's free

Though absolutely packed today with red alert flags, it was a wonderful time yet again on this very clean and familial beach part of a wildlife protected area. Suitable for disabled, elderly and young children alike. Chiringuitos (beach huts for light meals) serving excellent local fare at reasonable local prices. Fine beige and black sand and chest high a fair way into the water. Warning for dangerous undercurrents by loudspeakers, red flags and sea/beach patrol. Marvellous for long-distance walking. Dunes offer privacy but also greater heat! Clean, friendly and efficiently organised/signposted. Showers and toilets. Summertime there is a local extended bus service until 04 September 2016. Thoroughly recommended :)

The beach is gorgeous, so for beach lovers it is a real, real treat. We are not beach people, but enjoyed walking on the long Promenade leading to the Cadiz Cathedral and the old center. Also, walking on the sand is a great exercise and a super chance to enjoy the beautiful sea views and old Cadiz and the new bridge over the Cadiz bay.

Reviewed By BigHugh51 - Adelaide, Australia
We took a tour from Cadiz to Seville. Therefore, we had the opportunity to travel over this impressive bridge onboard a tour coach in both directions.
The bridge is an amazing sight as you approach it from a distance. It is even more impressive as you travel over it and have the opportunity to view it from close-up.
Because of its immense size, this bridge can rightly be described as one of the true landmarks of Cadiz!

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Cadiz and the bay. The city was so interesting and buzzing.. In the tranquil bay there was a series of lagoons where you can watch masses of flamingos in flight and numerous wading birds. A place where bird watchers could spend their full holiday.
