Top Tips for Visiting Cadiz

1. Wander the Old Quarter

Start your adventure in Cadiz’s Old Quarter, where history greets you around every corner. Stroll through neighbourhoods like El Populo and La Vina, filled with narrow lanes, hidden plazas, and whitewashed buildings that speak to the city’s Moorish and Roman past. Pause at Plaza de San Juan de Dios, in many ways the city’s beating heart, to watch street musicians and visit sidewalk cafes.

​2. Climb the Torre Tavira

For an unforgettable perspective, head up the Torre Tavira, an 18th-century watchtower once used to spot incoming ships from the New World. The climb is well worth it; at the top, Cadiz stretches out before you with a view that spans rooftops, coastline, and the endless Atlantic. Don’t miss the landmark’s famous camera obscura, a unique optical device that offers a 360-degree live panorama of the city below.

​3. Visit the Cadiz Cathedral

One of the city’s crowning jewels, the Cadiz Cathedral is a blend of architectural styles, with its golden dome visible from all over the city. Step inside to discover baroque and neoclassical elements, towering columns, and echoes of Cadiz’s opulent past. As you exit, take a moment to gaze at the Atlantic from the church steps. This is a view that has inspired poets, painters, and explorers for generations.

​4. Explore La Caleta Beach

Nestled between two castles, La Caleta is Cadiz’s most iconic beach and a beloved spot for locals and travellers alike. Its sheltered bay and picturesque surroundings make it perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply unwinding. In cooler seasons, a walk along the sand is a perfect chance to stretch your legs while enjoying seaside views of the city. As the sun sets, the beach takes on a magical glow, offering a quintessential Cadiz experience you won’t want to miss.

​5. Savour the Flavours of Cádiz at the Mercado Central

Cadiz’s Mercado Central is a sensory feast and a showcase of Andalusian cuisine. Wander through market stalls brimming with fresh seafood, local cheeses, and an array of olives and cured meats. Sample pescaito frito (fried fish), tortillitas de camarones (shrimp fritters), or a glass of chilled fino sherry as you soak in the lively atmosphere

A DAY ON A RIVER CRUISE

SALAMANCA

Today we visit historic Salamanca, one of the many UNESCO World Heritage Sites on this journey, regarded by many Spaniards as their nation’s most beautiful city. Founded by the Romans, who erected its 389-yard-long bridge, Salamanca is mostly built from local sandstone that emanates a gorgeous rose-coloured glow in the sunlight. Perched on a hill on a bend in the serene River Tormes, the city is a picture of tranquillity but its history is turbulent, having been successively fought over by Hannibal, the Moors, then the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon.
Salamanca is dominated by its two cathedrals and its university. Founded in 1218, the university is the oldest in Spain and was one of the civilised world’s most important seats of study for over 400 years. The Spanish Inquisition’s records are still kept here, and as early as the 16th century it boasted some 12,000 students. Seeing its immaculately preserved lecture halls with their vaulted ceilings, it’s easy to conjure an image of Christopher Columbus addressing the learned men of the day or legal experts constructing the international laws that originate here. On arrival in Salamanca you are free to explore as you wish. You may choose to linger, admiring the ornate interiors of its cathedrals – the more recent dates from the 16th-century – or explore its tiny streets, medieval squares, traditional shops, gardens and marketplaces. The main square, the Plaza Mayor, was built in the 18th-century in Spanish Baroque style with colonnaded walkways all around at ground level, ideal for finding a shaded spot to sit and watch the locals pass by. Over lunch you enjoy a traditional flamenco show. This afternoon we enjoy a guided tour of the city seeing the main sights.

Testimonial

I want to thank Susan for booking our first ever cruise on board Marella Explorer 2. Susan chose and booked our cabin as she’s an experienced cruiser and we trusted her choice we were not disappointed as our cabin was fabulous. She also helped with the flights and booking seats on the plane. Nothing was too much trouble. Susan even messaged to make sure everything was ok as she knew I was anxious about feeling sea sick. Thank you again Susan for organising our wonderful cruise

Customers enjoyed it so much they went on an MSC cruise to UAE and have a P&O Caribbean booked for Christmas.

ARGOSTOLI Kefalonia

Whilst Argostoli itself has a bustling harbour, it is within a few miles of some of the finest beaches to be found in the Mediterranean. Avithos, Ai Helis, Ammes and Lourdas Beaches all offer endless golden sands lapped by bright blue water, creating places where you can bask under wall-to-wall sunshine and feel your cares drift away.
​
​Small shops that will make a big impression

​With a compact centre that is easily walkable, Argostoli offers a fascinating array of local shops. Be sure to visit Lithostroto – a pedestrianised road lined with fascinating boutiques and small shops selling an amazing array of handicrafts.​
​
Stroll across the De Bosset Bridge

Stretching for more than 750 yards, De Bosset Bridge spans the bay of Argostoli and offers some of the finest harbour views you will find anywhere. Built in 1813, this charming stone bridge was closed to traffic some 15 years ago and is today dedicated to pedestrians, allowing you to stroll along it at your leisure.
​
​Immerse yourself in nature at Kefalonia Botanica

​Little more than a mile from Argostoli, Kefalonia Botanica offers a treasure trove of native flora, with many rare species of plant. Losing yourself within this lush landscape, you can experience a unique sense of tranquillity and relaxation as you unwind to the gentle trickling of the central stream.
​
​Taste the rainbow with some local delicacies

​Greek food is some of the healthiest and most vibrant in the world, and Kefalonia is famed for its local cuisine and unique dishes. Dominated by lean meat, fish, olive oil, stunning vegetables and cheeses, a cornucopia of local dishes makes this a food-lover’s paradise.
​
Visiting one of the countless local restaurants, you can start with melitzanosalata, taramasalata or tzatziki or maybe a signature dish of meatballs or stuffed octopus. For your main, how about a horiatiki salad (with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers, feta and black olives) or perhaps a classic moussaka or stockfish or cod with agliada?

A DAY ON A RIVER CRUISE

AVIGNON

The light catching the red roofs of Avignon’s majestic skyline is a sight to behold over breakfast, after which we embark on a guided tour of one of the most extraordinary and intriguing cities in France. Avignon’s destiny changed during the 14th century, when the Pope’s court moved here to avoid strife in Rome. Igniting a century of prosperity, the Pontiff commissioned a host of ambitious building projects, and today the city is immaculately preserved, nestling behind its almost-intact 14th-century walls and boasting more remarkable monuments, superbly decorated buildings, churches, chapels and convents than you can possibly count. Most important is the stunning Popes’ Palace, made up of two buildings that together form the largest Gothic palace in the world. With turrets, towers, parapets and other fortifications, its exterior resembles a mighty fortress, while the interior is a tour de force of medieval architecture and ornamentation, adorned with priceless frescoes, Gobelin tapestries and graceful sculptures. The ceremonial hall, chapels, cloisters and private apartments are all unmissable. But to truly embrace the feel of papal Avignon, imagine yourself here during the Middle Ages amid the Palace’s rich furnishings and extravagant decoration, with cardinals, princes and ambassadors milling about its candle-lit halls and corridors, while in the streets below countless pilgrims eagerly anticipate benediction. This was Avignon’s brief golden age, when it was truly the centre of Christendom.
After lunch you’re free to explore as you wish, perhaps visiting the nearby Petit Palais, the former home of the archbishops of Avignon, to cast a critical eye over the remarkable collection of over 300 paintings and sculptures from the Middle Ages and Renaissance, including works by Botticelli and Carpaccio. Or take a stroll on the iconic Pont d’Avignon, which, dramatically, ends halfway across the river, made famous by the melody we all recall from our first French lessons. It’s our final afternoon so you may wish to do some shopping, or just find a quiet café in a shady Provençal square to watch the world go by. Perhaps though, return to the luxurious surroundings of our ship, finding a quiet spot to contemplate the many wondrous places you’ve seen and experienced over a quiet cup of tea!
