Information about Cadiz, Spain (Click to view)
Cadiz is the oldest city in Western Europe with records suggesting that the city was occupied more than 3,000 years ago. It stands on a peninsula jutting out into a bay, and is almost entirely surrounded by water. This surprisingly laid-back town with an easy-going atmosphere offers great beaches, sweeping views of the sea and long, palm-lined promenades that complement the town’s lively bars, fantastic museums, bustling commercial activity, and beautiful Cathedrals typical of any prized European city. Cadiz looks quite Moorish in appearance and is intriguing with narrow cobbled streets opening onto small squares. Cadiz is also known for its famously wild Carnival celebrations. It has become the liveliest and most dazzling carnival town in mainland Spain, famous for its amusing and creative figurines and satirical song groups.
From its dazzling beaches to its ancient castles, Spain is a country as diverse as the cultures which have influenced its art, architecture, music and lifestyle. It is a land where cathedrals and castles are interspersed with skyscrapers, where modern rock mixes with flamenco guitar, and night clubs compete with cozy "tapas" bars. Spain offers some of the world's most famous museums, resorts, and festivals, making it a unique and enchanting destination.
Participants: Mostly form Europe, US and Asia. Wide age range.
Other: Only for BEGINNER surfers
