This remote city along Spain’s ‘sunshine coast’ has been likened to popular Barcelona as it offers similar activities and beautiful architecture – but it is far less crowded.

Flights to Cádiz, Spain, are cheap from many major UK airports including London and Manchester with some as cheap as £50, according to Skyscanner’s website.

Barcelona is a city that has it all – culture, nightlife, and beaches. In 2023 alone, over 12 million people chose to holiday there.

If you’re looking for a similar cultural adventure and vibe but without the masses, the ancient port city of Cadiz in Andalucia is being praised as the perfect alternative.

Cadiz, one of the oldest cities in Western Europe, was Spain’s main harbour in the eighteenth century.

To explore the city’s rocky coastline, take a leisurely afternoon walk along Avenida Campo del Sur and finish at the cathedral.

While the easiest way to reach Cadiz is by plane, the city doesn’t have its own airport.

So, the best route from London involves flying to Barcelona and then catching a 1-hour 45-minute flight to Jerez, the nearest airport to Cadiz. .

If you prefer to avoid the intense Spanish heat, the best times to visit Cadiz are May and June or early autumn, between September and October.
