Night walk through Cádiz
The so-called
Tacita de Plata
because of the silhouette that the city of
Cádiz has,
appeals at any time and in any way.
But if it is a free night walk with our pet next to us, much better.
This proposal covers for an hour and a half, among other points, the
neighborhood of Pópulo
, the church of Santa Cruz (or the old cathedral), the temple with the most history in Cádiz, the promenade with its typical houses, the
Gran Teatro Falla
, with its curious neo-Mudejar architectural style, and the
Caleta beach.
