A Little Bit About Cadiz

Cadiz is the oldest city in Western Europe and is located in the southwestern part of Spain. It is a city on the seafront, with gardens and beaches, wide avenues and historical monuments.

The city centre is compact, walkable and the terrain is flat. There are local buses covering the city and nearby areas, such as San Fernando and Chiclana. Regular trains and trams connect Cádiz to Seville, Jerez de la Frontera, and Madrid. Seville is 1.5 hours away, and Madrid is 2.5 - 3.5 hours away by train or car. The nearest airport is Jerez airport, 43km away.
