Visiting Cadiz

Founded by the Phoenicians over 3,000 years ago, Cadiz is considered the oldest city in the western world. With one of the most important ports in Spain, because it is located on the bay that bears its name and surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, it is united with the rest of the peninsula by a narrow isthmus. Christopher Columbus was aware of this benefit since it is from there that he left for the Americas at various times.

Cadiz is mainly known for its carnival. The remainder of the year it is a relatively calm city since there are only 135,000 people who live to the rhythm of Andalusia: relaxation, good humor and kindness. At every corner, you can enjoy the fresh fish markets, cafes, alleyways, colorful facades or the stones of the old city of Cadiz.

Cadiz offers many beautiful beaches, magnificent sea views and walking opportunities in the shade of palm trees, many bars, museums, shops and historical monuments to see and visit.

Accommodation with host families in Spain

Living in a Spanish family is the best way to learn Spanish and really know the lifestyle of the Spaniards, their culture and traditions.

You can choose between accommodation in host families with half board (breakfast and dinner) and full board (breakfast, lunch and dinner).

If you are a vegetarian, allergic to cats, dogs or if you have any other specific requests, you can still find homes accordingly, to cater to your requirements.

Please know that our host families can be couples with children, single parents or elderly and / or retired, all Hispanics. In addition, you will never be housed with someone of the same nationality as you, except requested by you, in order to practice a maximum Spanish.

The option of home stay accommodation is available in all destinations of Spain.

Enjoy beautiful ocean views!

Torre Tavira was built in the 18th century and was proclaimed the official panoramic tour of the city. In addition to allowing the observation of magnificent views of the ball and the ocean, the tower also houses the “camara oscura,” a kind of camera projecting a moving image of the city on a screen. Very nice!

Taste “Pescadito frito”

You cannot leave Cadiz without tasting the dishes of fish and seafood and especially “Pescadito frito” (fried). The best place to eat is the Freideria Las Flores, located in Plaza Topete.
