And we continue to ask for trips to Cádiz.
What can we tell you that you don't already know about Cadiz ? This 2019 has been an absolute rebirth for her, although she was always being reborn.
Cádiz was chosen by The New York Times as the province you must visit in 2019, we followed it on its White Towns route without caring too much if it was winter or summer; we repeated over and over again at her tables, and we spent 48 hours keeping her without rest.
But there is still more because Cadiz is infinite . No matter when your visit is, if you are lucky enough to be there right now or if you are dreaming it, these are five of their towns to make it big . You may not have heard much about them, but better, because like this (we know you were looking forward to it) you can return to Cadiz.
