With water on all sides, narrow cobblestone streets and squares and architectural building build by the Romans and people before them; Cadiz paints a true picture of an exotic, foreign and an off-the-radar city.
Because Cadiz is enclosed with water on all sides, this little city of cultural highlight gives off a Moorish look hence nicknamed as the little silver cup. Cadiz’s most striking features are its archaic cathedrals and the white buildings, both of which give it strange sort of rundown beauty.
