Cadiz Tour & Tavira Tower

Dating back over 5,000 years, Cadiz is the oldest city in western Europe. This tour takes you on a guided walk through off the beaten path parts of the city to learn all about its history and culture. The sightseeing comes thick and fast on this Cadiz excursion, as you dot to dot your way around the city's best bits. You'll pass the Town Hall, a neoclassical building that was completed back in 1861, and wander beneath the Arabic-style arches of the Populo district – Cadiz's old quarter.Stroll through well-tended squares, parks and plazas and snap a few photos of the golden-domed cathedral. There's also a visit to the recently renovated Central Market, where you can pop in to soak up the lively local atmosphere and sample some Andalusian produce. Rounding it all off is a panoramic view of the place from the top of Tavira Tower – an 18th-century viewpoint where watchmen would keep an eye out for merchant ships arriving from the New World.
