Medina-Sidonia is a city and municipality in the province of Cádiz in the autonomous community of Andalusia, southern Spain. It is considered by some to be the oldest city in Europe, used as a military defense location due to its elevated location. Locals are known as Asidonenses. The city's name comes from Medina (Arabic for city) and Sidonia (of Sidon), meaning "City of Sidon".

A thoroughly worthwhile and interesting way to spend a morning, learning about traditional Andalucian cattle farming and the horsemanship inseparable from it. There is an interval ( with refreshments including several varieties of Domecq family sherry ) and I would have considered the event value for money even if there hadn't been a second half! Very professionally run attraction with excellent commentary in 4 languages and high standards of animal welfare throughout. Definitely recommended.

Museo y Conjunto Arqueologico Romano, Medina Sidonia

Reviewed By SMU1963 - London, United Kingdom

The entrance covers the actual museum, which has an incredible array of artefacts as well as a large section of the Ancient Roman ruins. However, it also covers a second archeological site further into the town, of a section of Ancient Roman road and pavement - complete with two game boards carved into the pavement. The staff close the main building to lead you up to the second. There are presumably few visitors, which is a shame. We were delightfully surprised at the standard and quality of the two parts. The man on the desk was wonderfully helpful and polite. A little gem of a place.

Castillo de Medina-Sidonia

Reviewed By Ipdip - Montcuq en Quercy Blanc, France

First stop is the tourist office to get a map. You follow the trail as it winds its way through the narrow streets and up to the castle. It is quite a hike and gets steel towards the end. Warm enough in February so what it is like in the height of summer I dread to think. At the top the entrance fee is 3 euros pp and you are rewarded with spectacular 360 degrees view out to sea, inland and possibly Africa on a clear day. The castle is in ruins though elements of Roman times are visible. Worth the effort!

Plaza de Espana

Reviewed By Ipdip - Montcuq en Quercy Blanc, France

We parked at the entry to Medina and walked into town about 500m.You access the square via an archway and it opens into a well maintained square with restaurants and a few shops. The tourist office is at the far side of the square, where you can get a street map to help you explore. On the right hand side of the square on entering you will find a cake shop and for those with a sweet tooth you will wondering which ones to choose. We couldn't believe much cheap they were!
