Archeology, fine arts and ethnology museum. Important collection of Phoenician World and Murillo, Zurbarán, Rubens, Zuloaga, Sorolla, Miró... paintings
This museum has a very interesting archaeological section with finds from all periods showing that the region around Cádiz was inhabited from Neolithic times on, making Cádiz the oldest, permanently inhabited city of Europe. Especially the unique Phoenician finds are worth seeing including two marble anthropoid sarcophaguses. On the first floor is the fine art collection with a room dedicated to the Spanish painter Zurbarán and another to Murillo. For everybody interested in ancient culture and art, this museum should not be missed.

This park is full of trees from around the world. There are fountains throughout the park making it a beautifully cool place to walk when the sun is hot. There is a cafe, childrens play area and lots of benches to watch the world go by. There is also an artificial water cascade which has steps to the top where you have a great view out to sea. Tranquil spot for a bit of contemplation...or a coffee and cake.

close to the centre of Cadiz, a very nice beach with white sand, where you can find all the services and relax yourself after a tourist day!

We stumbled across these markets by accident and so glad we did. More than 60 individual markets selling fresh fruit & vegetables, fish & seafood galore, olives, cheeses, hams, preserved meats, fresh meats and clothes on the outside. It was a hive of activity and a real treat to purchase fresh produce direct from the makers. We bought preserved tuna (aka ‘Ham of the Sea’) several varieties of olives and fruit. Be aware that it’s cash only.

Just to wander around and explore is a great way to spend time in old Cadiz. Plenty of tiny alleys, small squares, churches and interesting building facades. 13th century El Populo at it's heart with entrance arches is a great place to begin. Plenty of tiny shops too if you like shopping along with small bars and cafes.

Beautiful easy walk with the ocean on one side and fantastic gardens on the other . It is fascinating to watch the locals fish from the walls to try their luck at catching some of the amazing g cushion can see in the clear waters.

My wife and I had an Airbnb apartment in La Vina during our brief stay in Cadiz this past November. We were located on the Plaza de la Candelaria in the middle of historic Cadiz. We enjoyed being among the locals and out of the tourist area. Our first night was Halloween night and it was interesting to see the parents take their costumed children around to neighborhood businesses. It is a lively area.

**Temporarily Closed** CLOSED TO NEW NOTICE DUE TO MAINTENANCE WORK Archaeological site named Gadir. During the visit you will do a tour where you will be able to see the evolution of the city from its founding by the Phoenicians to Roman times. Right 21st century, an interactive multimedia tour will allow you to see the remains of the ancient Phoenician city built in the 9th century BC, with its dwellings, its streets, its animals, etc.
My husband and I both found this site fascinating. We showed up at the box office around 11:30 and got free tickets for the one o’clock tour. Our guide spoke both Spanish and English and after the introductory film (subtitled in English) we were free to walk around the clearly described remains of Phoenician homes and streets. Our guide asked if we had any questions and spent a good half hour explaining things to us. She was very knowledgeable and we felt lucky to have her to ourselves. If you’re interested in history this is definitely worth seeking out.
