Europe's oldest inhabited city. From the moment you step foot in Cadiz, you'll feel that history is the main focus of your trip here. The sun beats down on the spectacular cathedral, from where people once watched Lord Nelson emerge victorious from the Battle of Trafalgar. Palm trees dot the shore and paths leading to Plaza de Topete, where an attractive fragrance from the flower stalls is prevalent - a welcome addition if you're coming from a visit to the nearby fish market. The historical relevance of this city is evident in the culture. Styles are intermixed - you might find 18th century palaces up against 15th century houses. But there is undoubtedly a holiday atmosphere to this beautiful town. Count the hours from within dark yet cosy tapas bars, or head to the beach and roast yourself for as long as you need to. While history is certainly a primary draw here, a welcome holiday atmosphere is ever present.
