The Bay of Cadiz Port is located in the surface area Mediterranean-front Atlantic, close of the strait of Gibraltar, with a privileged geographical situation between the Atlantic and the North of Africa for what comes being a regular port of call for tourist cruiser vessels yearly in its transfer between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean and vice versa.

But not only for their geographical situation is Cadiz an elected destination for that ships, but rather the city, their county and the vicinity to other tourist centers in Andalusia have wakened up the interest for several companies that have included Cadiz like habitual scale at their cruises in the Mediterranean, making night in our port, because the fan possibilities that the city and its environment offer it is so wide and varied that is extremely attractive for the visitors.



Since it is possible to see in the specific chapter, the Port of the Bay of Cadiz has a geographical situation favoured between(among) the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean and the North of Africa. Ideal so much as intermediate point of scale as head or end(purpose) of itinerary, done that allows him(her) his(its,her) unsurpassable accesses, so much for terrestrial route (highway or railroad) like air (airport of Sherry to 40 km. And airport of Seville to 120 km.).



The relationship between Cadiz and the sea has always been special. The navigators fenicios founded it 3.000 years ago, he received their splendor for the ocean after the discovery of America and this identification with the sea it is also manifested in the artists, in the parties, in the gastronomy and in all the facets of the life.

To disembark in Cadiz means to enter in a city with 3.000 years of history, Cadiz, the most ancient city in the West, with a hospital and open character; a monument in itself.

In the trade there are magnificent reproductions of the archaeological discoveries and more emblematic areas of the city; paintings, engravings, miniatures, hand-operated realized dolls, handmade jeweler's and fashion in dressing, shoes and skin acticles. You can pay with credit.

In addition, the province has a tourist offer that is difficult to beat (top quality golf courses1, the route of the white villages, the Jerez and Bajo Guadalquivir areas and the beaches on the Cadiz coastline, to know the Moorish towns, the art of the Carthusian horses, the flamenco and the brave bull, the seafaring towns as well as the essence of the sherry wine or the white towns), and where the visitor can find high quality services of renowned prestige. Next , there are a lot of trips that fulfil all the above:

The cathedrals of the wine
Harold Lloyd, Liz Taylor, Wool Turner, Orson Wells or Steven Spielberg has come closer until Jerez to know its cellars, attracted by the prestige of its wines and the historical elegance of the buildings. The visit finishes in all them with a tasting. The cellars are just to half hour from their cruise. If you are in the Bay of Cadiz Port, visit them.

The art of the horses
If you have not seen dance the Carthusian horses, don't lose the occasion. Visit Jerez and the Real Andalusian Equestrian Art School. The Real School is devoted to the formation of horsemen and to the breeding and improvement of the Carthusian race horses, one of the most beautiful horses in the world. Besides of, they offer its show “How they dance the Andalusian horses.”

Searching the brave bull
The brave bull is so near your cruise that neither you imagine it. It is very tempting to contemplate them in the field and in an amateur bullfight from the barrier. You can know how the is day by day in an Andalusian farm, to enjoy with a lunch and to take advantage of the opportunity to appreciate how they are raised and they are selected.

The route gives the white towns
Under this denomination we refer to an itinerary that begins in Arcos de la Frontera and it lapses for Ubrique, Grazalema, Zahara de la Sierra and Setenil, among other towns. Some towns so white as different, so much that if Arcos distribute their houses in the high thing of a rock, Setenil take a whole mountain for roof. The architectural show doesn't leave impassive to anybody. As much in Grazalema as in Ubrique you can visit one another handmade centers and to buy blankets and skin articles.

For the Moorish path: Medina and Vejer
To visit Medina Sidonia and Vejer de la Frontera it is to go for a walk among the purest style of the Andalusian Arab architecture. Narrow streets, small squares, walls and castellations reveal their very old origin; both towns, declared artistic historical groups allow to combine the visits guided with the purchases of artisans products, especially ceramic in Vejer and sweets in Medina, since this city was the confectioner capital of the Arab world. One of the illustrious visitors of Vejer was J.F. Kennedy who visited the municipality in 1954?.

Numerous fields wait you to play where the best play.
