Go Local-Cadiz Through The Eyes Of A local

OVERVIEW

Stroll through the Old Quarter of Cadiz, following a guide that will introduce you to the rhythms of local life at a busy market. After departing from the pier on foot, you will soon realize the charms of Cadiz and especially its people. Friendly and gregarious, they are always willing to share their insights into what makes Cadiz so attractive. As an example, your local guide will lead you on an enlightening walking tour through the narrow, cobbled streets of the Old Quarter, which the Phoenicians founded in the 12th century. Your first stop will be a bustling marketplace where the locals shop for fresh produce and seafood and enthusiastically socialize. While meandering through the stalls, you will pause on occasion to sample enticing delicacies that reflect Cadiz’s cuisine. Continue the walk to a Tavern hear, smell and taste the authentic “ambiente” just like locals do, as you try a traditional tapa washed down with a sweet wine or sherry form the area. Afterwards, the guide will lead you to another favorite spot: the beach at La Caleta. During free time, you might gaze out at the fishing boats anchored just offshore, walk the promenade with the locals and people-watch.
