Cadiz is one of the oldest port cities in Europe and the city “at the edge of the world”. Nowadays, it offers a range of entertainments for tourists. As the city has a beneficial location at the bay, Cadiz has several wonderful beaches perfect for leisure recreation. Playa de la Caleta, which is located to the north of the Old Town, is usually recognized as the most popular beach in the city. Despite the fact that most locals usually mention this beach first, it is smaller compared to other beaches in Cadiz. Because of that, Playa de la Caleta is always quite crowded. There is an interesting fact about this beach – the discovery of America started here as Playa de la Caleta was the starting point of Columbus’s travel to “India”.
Playa de Santa Maria del Mar is one more interesting beach. It is very clean and has incredibly picturesque surroundings. The beach looks particularly romantic in the evening. The beach is not very crowded – it is spacious even when there are many people because the beach is wide.
