| Cádiz
- The Costa de la Luz (Coast of light) is the western part of the Andalucía
coastline that faces out to the Atlantic - the coastline of the province
of Cádiz. Cádiz is
among the oldest settlements in Spain, founded about 1100 BC by the Phoenicians
and one of the country's principal ports ever since. Its greatest period,
however, and the era from which the central part of town takes most of
its present appearance, was the eighteenth century. Then, with the silting
up of the river to Sevilla, the port enjoyed a virtual monopoly on the
Spanish-American trade in gold and silver, and on its proceeds were built
the cathedral - itself golden-domed (in colour at least) and almost Oriental
when seen from the sea - the public halls and offices, and the smaller
churches. View featured hotels |

Cadiz
Tourist Information by Gary Cotter
The historic city of Cadiz is situated
on the end of a narrow, rocky peninsular jutting out into the Atlantic
Ocean.
According to legend Cadiz was founded
by Hercules, although in reality the Phoenicians first established a settlement
here around 1100BC, making this one of the oldest continuously inhabited
cities in Europe. The Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths and Moors all came
and went, but it was not until the 18th century that Cadiz enjoyed its
greatest period of wealth when it became an important centre for trade
with the New World. Many of the town's fine neo-classical buildings were
built during this time... read

Spain's
Prettiest town: Arcos de la Frontera by Paul Herman
Deep in the south of Spain's southernmost
province, Cadiz, hidden in the Gatidano mountain range, is Arcos de la
Frontera the prettiest town in Spain. Although the old walled town of Arcos
only holds 4000 people & is lost in a valley hidden in the mountains,
its place in Spanish history is important because of the town's strategic
placement in Catholic Spain's long struggle against the Moorish kingdom.
Boabdil, the last Moorish king, finally fell in 1492, the same year Columbus
sailed west for India. At Cadiz's tip, near Arcos de la Frontera, Africa
looms large across a bit of water that seems a mere swim away... read
