The perfect combination of city and beach! Explore the beautiful old city of Cádiz in the morning and spend the afternoon relaxing on the beach!

Cádiz is an hour and a half drive from Suryalila, which makes it a great day trip. Cádiz is one of the oldest cities in Europe. It was a centre of the Phoenician empire up to 3,000 years ago and then became the 3rd most important city in the Roman Empire. Later it became the city where Columbus left for the Americas and later still was the city where the first liberal constitution in Spain was written in 1812.

Cádiz has a unique position, being situated at the end of a narrow peninsula of land, surrounded on all sides by water, leaving it vulnerable to the elements, especially winds and storms in the winter. In the summer, most of the city seems to move to the beautiful beaches that surround the old city and that continue in the newer parts of town. The atmosphere reminds one of a smaller Rio de Janeiro. The old city is unique in its charm, with typical narrow streets opening up to beautiful plazas.
