Music and costumes are the protagonists of a very satiric and enjoyable carnival.
At almost 150 feet above sea level, this tower is the highest point of the city. Located in the old town, it was built to monitor all the movement in the Port of Cadiz, and today you can go inside to feel what it was like to be an 18th-century watchman.
This square stands out in the city of Cadiz for several reasons. One is that, during carnival, it becomes one of the key points around the city, hosting a good part of the street performances. Another is that it's where building number 1 is located, which was built in 1746.
This theater is worth seeing inside and out. Construction on the building began in 1885 and wasn't finished until 1910. At first it was called Gran Teatro de Cadiz, but the name was changed to honor the great musician Manuel de Falla. During carnival, the venue is home to the chirigotas contest.
This park from the late 18th century is surrounded by Cadiz's ancient city walls. Ideal for a leisurely stroll, it's lined with perfectly trimmed cypresses and full of trees and plants of different species, sizes, shapes, and origins, both native and imported.
This square was built with the idea of being the entrance to the sea since it originally opened to the Bay of Cadiz. It contains a monument to the famous Constitution of 1812, Spain's first constitution. You can see sculptures, fountains, and many plant species here.
