Cadiz Province is often referred to as Europe’s gateway to Africa, while its capital is said to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe. Travel back in time to 1100 BC when this incredible region was discovered by the Phoenicians who named the province 'Gadir'. Along with the Romans, they leave behind a wealth of ancient remains, from the 18th century Torre Tavira watch tower, to a recently discovered Roman aqueduct. The historic, cobbled streets of Cadiz have a nostalgic charm that can't quite be matched anywhere else in Spain.
