The experience

Cadiz sits on a peninsula nearly surrounded by water, founded by Phoenicians as a trading post around 1100 BC and later controlled by Carthaginians, Romans, Moors, and finally Catholics: each civilization leaving its own mark on the food, architecture and daily life. The walking tour moves through the historical center, passing the Cathedral of Cadiz, San Sebastian and Santa Catalina castles, each one a physical record of the city's shifts in power and culture. Your guide explains what you're standing in front of as you walk, connecting the stones to the people who built them.

The gastronomic part is woven through the route: you'll stop at three different tapas bars where the kitchen shows you what Cadiz cuisine actually tastes like. The distinctive flavors that come from centuries of trade and settlement. Two tapas and two local wines are included, tasted in the places where locals eat them, not on a separate tasting tour. The walk takes three hours total, moving at a pace that lets you absorb both the sights and the food without rushing between them.
