The people of Cádiz are proud of the 10 kms. of fine sand which lie at their very door-step. Beaches such as La Victoria and La Caleta form part of the scenery of the city and of the very lives of its people.

At the same time, you just have to try the famous wines of Jerez and Sanlúcar to accompany one of the many traditional dishes of the area their excellent fish and seafood being particularly noteworthy.
