One of Western Europe's most ancient cities, founded 3,000 years ago by Phoenician merchants, Cadiz hugs Andalusia's sunlit Atlantic coast.
It's an intriguing and historic seaport - from which Spain's galleons once sailed in quest of New World treasure - characterised by palm trees, look-out towers and weathered old buildings. From here you can visit Jerez de la Frontera, centre of Spain's sherry production, and put to the test the creations of its many bodegas!

This is right outside where the ships dock. 10 euros gives you a good ride around the town and parks and if you can get on the open top of the double decker - Then wander around the town but do go to the big church in the middle, the architecture is sublime.
