Spanish-Homes have some interesting properties in the Cádiz area and the surrounding villages. Click on the links on the left for more information.

The province of Cadiz covers over 7,000 square kilometres and has a coastline of 250km from Sanlucar de Barrameda, just below the national park of Doñana all the way along the coast as far as Sotogrande on the Costa del Sol. The Cadiz coastline has some of Spain's most beautiful golden beaches and little of the destruction of the environment associated with mass tourism along most of Spain's Mediterranean coastline. Christopher Columbus set off on some of his voyages from Cadiz and the city is still a working port and both the city and wider province are popular holiday destinations for many Spanish tourists who visit in the summer.
Inland are the 'Pueblos Blancos', the White Villages which are a series of stunning small mountain villages with chalk coated houses dating back to the Middle Ages.  Many towns in the area are suffixed ' de la Frontera' which results from the period of the Reconquest when the border between the Christians and the Moors was constantly changing as the battle for territory took place.  The most famous of these towns is Jerez de la Frontera whose regional airport is now a destination for a growing number of budget airlines jetting people in from abroad.  Jerez is the world centre of the sherry industry and daily tours of the cellars (bodegas) is a popular activity as is a visit to the Royal Andalucian School of Equestrian Art where you can watch fabulous displays by the dancing horses.
Historians claim that Cádiz was founded over 3,000 years ago, making it the oldest continually inhabited city in Europe. Over its history, it has experienced many changes, with periods of expansion and decline. It has always been a lively, seafaring trading town and appeals to visitor with its straight, narrow streets, towering facades with fine wrought ironwork and gardens of great botanical variety. The Baroque Cathedral features bright domes and sumptuous interior, so different in architectural style from the majority of Spanish Cathedrals. As we walk around the busy town centre, visiting churches and museums, we come upon squares, such as San Juan de Dios, Mina, Constitución, España, Mentidero, each of which has its own style and monuments all so different and so attractive as are the different quarters of the centre from El Pópulo to la Viña.
Formerly known as Gades, Cádiz was for centuries Spain's main port for ships sailing to and from America. The churches of Cádiz, San Antonio, El Rosario, Santo Domingo, San Francisco, Santa Catalina, El Carmen, etc.are mostly Baroque or Neo-classical and the classical style obvious in many of its most significant buildings, such as the Council Building (a palace of enormous proportions), the Old Prision and even the traditional Tavira Tower. The museums in a city are all worth visiting, the Municipal History Museum, and above all the Archaeological and Fine Arts Museum, with its excellent art collection and impressive archaeological exhibitions etc. In February the Carnival, so highly acclaimed here and good reason, has its temple, the Gran Teatro Falla, recently restored and in a curious Neomudéjar style. At the beginning of spring, the Easter processions through the narrow streets are a fascinating sight. And for the summer there are small coves such as La Caleta, and long beaches all around the city.
