Towns of Cádiz

Cádiz is a very touristy Andalusian province and recommended. Not only in its city we will find places to lose ourselves, since it is a province in which we can find many towns that have an Andalusian charm that we will love. In Cádiz we can find a beach or mountain to choose from, with beautiful towns that have already become a symbol. If we are going to get to know this province in depth, we cannot miss those beautiful towns.

All the routes of the towns of Cádiz are in fact already famous, because they stand out those well-known typical white towns that seem made for a postcard and that can be visited in different parts of the province. That's why we are going to see some of the most outstanding towns in Cádiz that you cannot miss if you visit the province.

Setenil de las Bodegas

Setenil de las Bodegas

This, like many others, is located on the Route of the white villages of Cádiz that takes us through the typical Andalusian villages. This town stands out among many others because it has the original Cuevas del Sol street where the houses have been carved out of the mountain, which still overlaps the facades in a truly incredible way. It is a landscape that draws attention, although this street is usually full of tourists who want to see these original houses. We can also walk along Calle de la Sombra and reach the Plaza de Andalucía. In the town we can also see the Torreón del Homenaje, which is the vestige that remains of the Almohad fortress from the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries. Finally, we must recommend a walk through these streets full of traditional white houses.
