Old more than three thousand years, The Spanish city of Cadiz is the oldest in Western Europe and in any case is the oldest of the Iberian Peninsula. His important port with 157,000 inhabitants is located in Andalusia, a peninsula that lies on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. Due to its extraordinary geographical position, almost completely surrounded by sea, the city has always been an important strategic establishment. It is located close to the “Barrio de la Viña”, known as the beach of the Old City, which is located between two castles, San Sebastian and Santa Catalina. Cadiz was founded 80 years before the Trojan War and it was named Gadir, meaning wall or fortress. Many years later, Greeks called it Gadir or Gadeira.
