Seville (Cádiz), Spain
Believed to be the oldest town on the Iberian Peninsula, the Andalusian port of Cádiz enjoys a stunning location at the edge of a six-mile promontory. The town itself, with 3,000 years of history, is characterised by pretty white houses with balconies often adorned with colourful flowers. As you wander around, be sure to take a stroll through the sizeable Plaza de Espãna, with its large monument dedicated to the first Spanish constitution, which was signed here in 1812. Cádiz is the gateway to Seville – where flamenco rhythms, grand cathedrals, and delicious tapas make this one of Spain’s most vibrant cities. Stroll around Seville Old Town, home to some important sights, including the Royal Alcázar of Seville, the oldest operating royal palace in Europe, and the Giralda, the striking bell tower of Seville Cathedral, which is one of the world’s largest cathedrals.
