6 Alternatives without leaving the Province
Campeche City, Mexico or Havana, Cuba → Cádiz
Battles and pirates. That connects these three distant points on the map. Many places in Latin America were Spanish colonies, so finding similar places is not difficult. In this case, we have looked at the canyons found in Cádiz and the military remains, such as the wall, minarets and the castles that served as forts in battles. You can see that they are very similar to each other. Even what they did after using them, to protect the corners of the houses and facades of the city.
The Black Forest, Germany → The Alcornocales Natural Park
For lovers of nature and hiking, we know that you have had a hard time locked up at home. Surely you were looking forward to a route through nature, perhaps to that beautiful place in the southeast of Germany. If you are still not convinced to go on a trip outside the country, the Alcornocales Natural Park is the ideal place for you. You will find yourself in the largest cork oak forest in Spain and one of the largest in the world, in a native way. Although it is a protected area, the use of cork has been maintained. It is a great spot for bird watching and native natural species.
Dome of the Florence Cathedral, Italy → Jerez Cathedral
The dome of the Florence Cathedral is the icon of this Italian city. Practically, that element of the cathedral started an artistic movement that revolutionized the world, the renaissance. When visiting the city of Jerez, the Cathedral is a must see but few people look at the dome, there are many elements that distract you from it. This Cathedral contains in itself three different styles: Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical. The inspiration was clearly the dome of Florence and the resemblance will blow you away.
Rodrigues Island, Mauritius → Puerto de Santa Maria
The beaches of the Mauritius Islands are known all over the world. White sand, crystal clear waters … Nothing beats a beautiful beach at sunset, or some cocktails while having a good time with friends. Our beaches have all of that and perhaps we don’t value it as much as we should. All the beaches in the province of Cádiz have fine white sand and our water is crystal clear, as long as the east does not jump. Our chiringuitos also serve excellent food and incredible cocktails, as well as having live music. Let’s enjoy what we have without looking outside.
Honolulu, Hawaii or Victoria, Australia → the beaches of Tarifa
The dream of everyone who surfs or practices any of its variants is to travel and visit Hawaii and Australia, the cradle of the best surfers, and ride those gigantic waves. I do not deny that the dream is incredible and that it must come true at any moment. Even so, for the moment you can enjoy the beaches of Tarifa, full of surfers catching waves. There are many places along the coast where you can rent boards, fix them … We are sure that you will enjoy the waves here, that you will meet people with the same hobby. Come and check.
Chora, Greece → Conil de la Frontera
When we talk about Greece, we all think of those islands full of white houses and blue roofs, surrounded by the sea. We have seen it in thousands of films: Mamma mia, One for all, My Greek wedding… The islands of Mykonos are known to all. Although it might be obvious that we recommend visiting a white town, you would miss the sea and the salty breeze hitting your face. For this reason, we recommend that you visit Conil de la Frontera. A coastal town where almost all its buildings are white and you can enjoy a very similar atmosphere. Cool summer nights, enjoying a glass of wine on a terrace overlooking the sea. Enjoy that wonderful experience, without leaving the province.
From Alsherry we know that good travelers will not hesitate to leave the country when everything is safer. Even so, we believe that knowing what surrounds us and enjoying it to the fullest can be a good alternative until then. We hope that with this, you can see the province with different eyes. Do not hesitate, visit every corner of Cádiz.
