With 3,000 years of recorded human history in its DNA, Cadiz really is the perfect location to familiarize yourself with the Spanish language, culture, history and traditions in preparation for your new academic year. Its location on the country’s Atlantic coast in the far south made it an ideal settlement location for Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, Moors and even Castilians during the age of empire, when Cadiz was the departure point from Spain to the Americas. Yet in spite of its important role in global history, quaint and charming Cadiz is known better for its high quality of life in the 21st century. The locals are indeed renowned for their pleasant accent and friendly disposition, perhaps thanks to the 300 days of annual sunshine Cadiz enjoys, or the fact that here you are never more than a few minutes from a beach. And at the University of Cadiz, you will have access to materials and resources that you can use to boost your own teaching abilities at one of the finest academic institutions in the whole country.
The soaring gold and white domes and bell towers of the cathedral were designed to be the first thing visitors arriving to Cadiz by boat would see. In this respect, Cadiz has not changed; your eyes are always drawn organically to the cathedral whenever you look at the stunning Cadiz skyline from a distance. The elaborate baroque design of the cathedral and its elegant facade become increasingly noticeable the closer you get.
Built in the 18th century, this famous 45 meter watch tower was constructed to allow the city’s inhabitants to spot invaders coming by sea. Nowadays the Torre Tavira maintains its uses and its popularity, as any visitor can enjoy incredible 360 degree views of Cadiz thanks to the rotating viewing binoculars located atop the tower.
This pentagonal fortification built in the 17th century was originally constructed for a defensive purpose, given the propensity of the British and Dutch navies to attack Cadiz and steal its riches. Today, the Castle of Santa Catalina remains very striking, though it is put to better use by hosting popular cultural events throughout the year and featuring a modern art gallery.
A short journey from Cadiz is El Puerto de Santa Maria at the mouth of the Guadalete River. This historic port marks out the most southerly point of the “Sherry Triangle” where the region’s fine fortified wines are produced, and a day spent in this small town is always a delight. Some of El Puerto’s most popular attractions include the Castle of San Marcos, the local bullring, the Victory Monastery and the Mayor Prioral church.
And that is not all! Cadiz has ancient Roman ruins, museums, palaces, fortifications and more castles and churches than you would ever think possible.
