Privat biltransfer från Seville till Cadiz

Since the drive will only last around 1.5 hours, you’ll have plenty of time to visit the white-washed village built on the face of a steep ridge, Arcos de la Frontera, the magnificent New Bridge built in the middle of a 390-feet-deep (119 m) chasm in Ronda, and sip some delicious wine in Jerez de la Frontera.

The 18th-century walls and watchtowers are the stars of Cadiz, especially Torre Tavira which was used for spotting ships. Another one is Cadiz Cathedral, standing as a golden mix of baroque and neoclassical styles, glimmering under the sun. Besides the historical setting of Cadiz, the city’s warm and humorous inhabitants, known as Gaditanos, also enjoy a marvelous seafood-based cuisine, always accompanied by the region’s famous sherry wine.

Keep the weather in mind

The climate in both Seville and Cadiz is typically Mediterranean. Summers are hot and dry, while winters are mild but can be windy, especially in Cadiz due to its coastal location. Check the forecast and plan accordingly; light layers are perfect for fluctuating temperatures.

Pack your essentials

Since both cities are washed with sunshine, pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself against the sun. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as you'll likely do a lot of walking on the streets in Cadiz and on your way there as well.

Make stops for local cuisine

Make a point to stop at one of the local roadside eateries. The sherry and tapas of Andalusia are famous delights, along with jamón ibérico (Iberian ham) and local cheeses. The restaurant Casa Moral can be a great place to stop on your way to Cadiz.

Seville to Cadiz by car

If you’d like to drive from Seville to Cadiz, you’ll need to follow the AP-4 highway, which is the direct and fastest route. The car ride would take you around 1.5 hours, but it also depends on the traffic and the time of day you set off. Choosing this option gives you the flexibility to explore on the way but also involves toll costs, renting a car, and parking in Cadiz.

Wander around Barrio del Populo

The Barrio del Populo is Cadiz's oldest quarter. This maze of narrow streets is filled with breezes from the past it preserves. Some of the most outstanding buildings mark this district, such as the Cathedral of Cadiz and the Old Town Hall. Just a quick trip here, and you’ll step back in time; the ancient city gates and the remnants of the medieval walls will make you feel like you are in a historical movie.

Shop at Mercado Central de Abastos

The heart of the city beats with the lively vibes of Mercado Central de Abastos, not only the center of local life in Cadiz but also the oldest and busiest market in the city. If you’d love to observe how the inhabitants of Cadiz live day to day, this is the place for you. Visit in the morning to capture the market at its most dynamic, grab some fresh fruits and seafood, chicharrones, and tortillitas de camarones.

Be enchanted by the Roman Theatre

The Roman Theatre of Cadiz was discovered accidentally in 1980 and still stands to this day as a remarkable relic of the city’s ancient past. It is one of the oldest Roman theaters in Spain and is a window into Cadiz’s long history, dating back to the 1st century BC. The excavated parts include the large and round stairs that rise against the white walls of a traditional Andalusian building.

The peak tourist season in Cadiz runs from the beginning of July to the end of August, which coincides with summer vacations. During this period, tourism spikes, hotels are crowded, and prices fly up. Hotel rates exceed $108.50 (€100) per night, making Cadiz the most expensive province in Andalusia. The coastal areas, including popular spots like La Caleta Beach, become highly congested.
