Cádiz is the best choice to enjoy the most spectacular beaches, such as Bolonia, Los Caños de Meca and El Palmar. The ‘Little Silver Cup’ also offers a wide range of sports, such as surfing, snorkelling and golf, as well as beautiful natural areas of great ecological value, such as the Doñana National Park and the Estrecho Natural Park.
One of the most famous celebrations in Cádiz is the Carnival, when groups compete with their satirical commentary and costumes, which are genuine works of art. Another of the most important events is the Jerez de la Frontera Horse Fair, with riding, competitions and exhibitions, as well as various activities at the various stalls where visitors can enjoy wine and flamenco.
The Sanlúcar de Barrameda Horse Races are another attraction that brings thousands of people to the town’s beaches every year. Here the jockeys compete for various prizes on which the spectators can place official bets.
Finally, the influence of the Mediterranean, the mountains and the different cultures have created an incomparable culinary wealth. As a result, many people come to Cádiz to sample its exquisite cuisine, in which fish, seafood and wine play an important role in high-quality dishes and tapas.
