Cadiz
Andalucia offers the explorer many fine places to discover as this blog has previously explained. Away from the major cathedral cities of Malaga, Sevilla, Granada and Cordóba, what else lies within the province? Travel a little further and the port city of Cadiz comes into view.
Cadiz is a remarkably easy city to explore. For the reasonably fit, it can all be done on foot.
The city lies on a peninsular with the walker and cyclist well catered for and you stroll out with the sea on one side.
The many fine buildings is a reminder if Spain's affluent past when the riches of the New World arrived first in the port before distribution to the other areas of Spain.
On Sunday mornings, especially in spring and autumn, Cadiz is the playground for those seeking redemption through fitness.
Joggers, cyclists and power walkers use the city to get them in shape. It's easy because it is flat. A great place to run.
There are plenty of hotels to choose from. We picked the Monte Puertatierra because of its proximity to the peninsular and it car parking space (paid.)

There are many fine dining areas. We enjoyed lunch at Juanita Villar Pena Flamenca, close to the harbour wall at the end of Av Campo de Sur.
Check out the actual Puerta de Tierra, the city wall. For a small fee you can get an elevated view over the city centre and an excellent sight of the port.
