Suggestion for the day in Cadiz:

Wander the whitewashed streets of the Old Town and climb the Cathedral tower for sea views. Grab coffee at Plaza de las Flores, then head toward La Caleta beach for lunch by the water. Don’t miss the Mercado Central or a quick stop at Parque Genovés before sailing on.

Just steps from the port, the cafés around the Vieux-Port invite you to soak up local life as fishermen sell their daily catch straight from their boats. Explore Le Panier, the city's oldest district, with its sunlit terraces, narrow streets, and colorful façades.
