Detailed itinerary

1

Join us for this 3-hour long food tour across this Mediterranean gem: Cadiz! You will enjoy a delicious walking tapas tour in at least 4 stops. All food included!
Please, bear in mind that the tastings here described may change according to the season and the availabilities of our partners.

2

Going to the first stop you'll see the ruins of the Roman Theater of Cadiz, one of the biggest ever built in the Roman Empire, dating back to the 70 B.C and able to host about 10.000 guests.

3

After this first historical start, the next stop in the Central Market, where the locals run their errands and buy fresh ingredients to cook at home.
Here you'll have Pescaito frito: a culinary treasure showcasing the region's love for fresh seafood. This dish features a delightful assortment of small fish—often including tiny whitebait and succulent anchovies—lightly battered and fried to golden perfection. The result is a crispy, addictive treat that’s bursting with ocean flavor!

Stop 4

You'll pass by Torre Tavira - a XVIII century tower that hosts some panoramic points and exhibition rooms - while reaching our next stop: one of the most traditional bakeries and pastry shops in town, founded in 1961.

Here you will disconver some sweet treats to take away and eat at the end of your tour, to end on a sweet note!

5

Plaza de San Antonio is one of the most central squares in town, full of political and patriotic meaning. In fact, here in 1812 the Constitution was promulged!

Nearby, you will visit a tapas bar where you'll taste Papas aliñás: a delicious and refreshing twist on potato salad that perfectly captures the essence of Andalusian cuisine. These tender, boiled potatoes are lovingly tossed with a vibrant mix of olive oil, vinegar, fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of salt, creating a dish that’s both simple and bursting with flavor. Often adorned with capers or onions, papas aliñás are the perfect accompaniment to seafood or enjoyed on their own as a light snack. With their delightful combination of textures and zesty notes, they offer a taste of the sunny Mediterranean right on your plate!

6

Plaza de Mina is one of the most emblematic - thanks to its stunning buildings dating to the XVIII and XIX century - and greenest squares in town, hosting several vegetal species (some of which are even 100 years old!)

Nearby, you will enjoy a selection of local tapas in a restaurant that offers a selection of true Andalusian flavours!

7

We will come back near the starting point, the majestic Cadiz City Hall with its white facade and its surrounding monuments, such as the Arco del Populo or the San Juan de Dios Church.

In a local shop nearby, we will end our culinary adventure with a taste of sherry, the traditional drink from Cadiz. Raise a glass to Andalusian cuisine!
