Right in the middle of this fascinating little fishing village, this apartment is in an old but charming building. Ideal location to stroll around to the historical centre and beach.

A variety of stalls for fresh seafood, pickle olives, pastries and for lunch.

Eat
El Freidor del Mercado – Calle Libertad, Mercado central de Cadiz
Located in the mercado Central Cadiz. We still talk about the delicious seafood fresh from the sea – tortilla de camarones, gambas, croquetas, potato salad. 20.00€ for 2 including beer.
For the rest of our stay, we were just grabbing food on the go or stopping at a local tapas – unfortunately I don’t remember the places. All I can say, it was good and affordable.
Shopping
Cork O’Clock – Calle Compañía, 19, 11005 Cádiz
The girl attending the shop is very nice and helpful. We had some pretty good deals on cork products.
