About Cádiz, Spain
Considered to be the oldest extant city in the western world, Cádiz was founded by the Phoenicians over 3,000 years ago! Since those early days, Cádiz has long been coveted for its prime location on a peninsula-island and boasts one of Spain's most important and historical ports. In fact, Christopher Columbus set sail several times from Cádiz en route to the Americas.
Modern Cádiz offers an eclectic mix of goodies to visitors and locals alike. The town's lively bars, fantastic museums, bustling commercial activity, and jaw-dropping Cathedrals typical of any prized European city complement its great beaches, sweeping views of the sea and long, palm-lined promenades.
While its rowdy and entertaining Carnaval festivities have earned Cádiz a spot on the tourist radar, the city's biggest draw is actually its laid-back, easy-going vibe. Amble through the winding cobblestone alleys of the old quarter, admire buildings with their pastel-colored façades, take in sweeping views of the sea, enjoy the fresh sea breeze...you'll inevitably find yourself charmed by the city and its treasures.
Ancient history, cosmopolitan Europe, intimate port life and a vibrant social scene meld seamlessly here, making Cádiz a wonderful study abroad destination.
