They built Cadiz on what was once an island with two principal parts, the old historic quarter with fortified walls and the newer part outside of the walls. These sections are joined together by the famous Puertas de Tierra with high buildings clustered around the Central Avenue.
The Campo de Gibraltar literally translates to the Gibraltar countryside and comes from the municipal term for the town of Gibraltar. The area of Cadiz includes the municipalities of Algeciras, San Roque, Los Barrios and La Linea de la Concepción; all excellent places for Andalucia holidays. It is here that you will find the Bay of Algeciras which is both exposed and sheltered areas, with favourable wind conditions for a number of water sports and it also includes a beautiful nature reserve that you can explore at will.
