Cadiz Cruise Guide
The seafront is characterised by palm trees, look-out towers and white-fronted houses; the landmark twin towers of the Baroque Cathedral are just a couple of blocks away from the mooring.
Cádiz is the gateway to Jerez de la Frontera and the great Moorish city of Seville. Also on the doorstep is the Doñana National Park, one of Europe's last great wildernesses.
Sightseeing
Highlights
• In the Old Town pay a visit to the 18th-century Cathedral and the Museo de Cádiz.
• Jerez, 30 mins away, is famous as the home of sherry and a trip to a bodega is de rigeur while horse lovers will not want to miss the show (and much more) at the Royal Equestrian School.
• Seville, 1½-2 hours by coach, is one of the great cities of Europe. Its Santa Cruz quarter is quintessential romantic Southern Spain while its Real Alcázar (palace-fortress of the Arab kings), and its Cathedral, complete with Giralda Tower, are two of the country's greatest monuments.
• Lovers of nature and bird watchers should visit the Doñana National Park; boat trips depart from Sanlúcar de Barrameda (11 miles north).
