Overview

Facing Africa in the southernmost part of continental Europe and home to Europe’s most ancient city, the province of Cádiz is small, yet endlessly fascinating!

Tour Highlights
  • Cádiz, Europe's oldest city

  • Sherry towns of Jerez, Sanlucar and Puerto de Santamaría

  • Birdwatching and hiking in the Sierra de Grazalema

  • Windswept, surfy beaches of Costa de la Luz

  • The famous 'White Villages', Arcos, Grazalema, and many more...

  • Roman remains at Baelo Claudia

  • Doñana National Park, Spain's most important wetland reserve

  • Wonderful seafood including tuna from the famous Almadraba

The legendary port of Cádiz, gateway to the Americas, sits on the Atlantic-facing Costa de la Luz, just a stone’s throw from the Sherry towns of Jerez, Sanlucar and Puerto de Santa Maria where you’ll find endless gastronomic delights, world-famous dancing horses and easy access to the Doñana National Park.

The mile-high peaks and picture-postcard ‘White Villages’ of the Sierra de Grazalema are just a short drive inland as is the Alcornocales Nature Park – an undiscovered gem!

The suggested route takes ten nights but you can do as little, or as much, as you like.
