Cadiz (for Seville) Cruises, Spain

View Itineraries

From its impressive harbour to its streets packed with Moorish relics, Cadiz is a great introduction to Spain. One minute you can be admiring medieval walls, the next browsing the racks of designer boutiques. It’s one of those cities where a new surprise awaits at every turn.

  • Take a look at Cathedral de Cadiz, a take-your-breath-away creation by architect Vicente Acero. Head inside and you’ll see its interior is dominated by a beautiful apse.
  • Don’t miss a chance to visit Seville. Famed for its flamboyant flamenco and fiestas, this fragrant orange tree-lined city has a real zest for life. Admire the famous Gothic cathedral, where Christopher Columbus’ tomb lies. Tour the ornate Arabic Alcazar. Then grab a siesta in Parque de Maria Luisa, tasting tapas along the way.
  • Take a trip to Jerez, the capital of sherry production and home to the ‘cartujano’ horses.

Your guide will lead you through narrow, cobbled streets, pointing out 18th-century houses and shops, and giving you the background on sights like the Town Hall and the Cathedral.
