About Cadiz
Cadiz is built on a narrow Atlantic peninsula. The cathedral, the market and La Viña are all inside the walkable old town. The newer neighborhoods run south along Playa de la Victoria.
El Pópulo sits between the railway station and the cathedral, with the Roman Theatre near its medieval gates. Nearby Santa María has narrow residential streets and a beach just beyond the old walls.
La Viña leads west to La Caleta, a compact beach between two forts. The central market and Torre Tavira are close. This end of the old town gets noisy during Carnival and on summer evenings.
Playa de la Victoria runs along the newer city with a broad promenade and hotels facing the sand. It is a long way from the cathedral. If you will go back to the old town often, book near a bus stop or a Cercanías station.
Cadiz has mild winters and warm sea-breeze summers. Most rain falls from autumn through winter. The old town is easy on foot. Take the bus along the long beach strip.

Getting to Cadiz
Jerez Airport is the closest commercial airport. Cercanías trains run from that area to Cadiz via Jerez. Check the timetable before you plan a same-day connection.
Other ways to arrive
- Train
- Cadiz station is beside the port and old town. Cercanías runs through San Fernando, Puerto Real and El Puerto de Santa María toward Jerez.
- Bus
- City buses run from the old town out along the beach neighborhoods. The peninsula is long, so find the stop nearest your hotel.
- Car
- Drive in along the causeway. The old-town streets are narrow, and a garage is easier than looking for a space.
