Detailed itinerary

The city of Cadiz is situated on a peninsula pushing itself out into the bay of Cadiz. It is nearly almost completely surrounded by water.
Named after the Phoenicians Gadir, who founded Cadiz as a trading post during 1100 BC. It was later controlled by the Carthaginians, and the became a thriving Roman port. During the Visigoths and Moors, it sank into oblivion, but then attained great splendour in the early part of the 16th century as a maritime port for the journey to the newly founded lands of America.
Sir Francis Drake of England, raided this important area in the struggle to gain complete control of this trade route to the New World, and withstood a fierce siege by Napoleon's army.
During the early part of the 19th century, Cadiz became the center and bastion of Spain's anti-monarchist liberal movement, and as a result, the Spain's first Constitution was declared here in 1812.
