Cadiz - Shore Based Excursions

A handful of cruises stop here every month during the summer periods, however the dock is noticeably quieter in the winter.

Real Club Nautico de Cadiz

The Real Club Náutico de Cádiz originated in 1868 as a Regata Club, its main purpose being the promotion and practice of nautical sports activities and maritime rescue. In 1884 another sports society was born with the name of Círculo Náutico, and its purpose was the practice of this sport. The merger of these two companies gave rise to a new entity that began to function in 1903, with the name of Sociedad de Regatas y Club Náutico and changes its name in 1913 to the current Real Club Náutico de Cádiz as a result of consent in holding his presidency SM, King Alfonso XIII, granting the title of Royal to the entity.

Marina Puerto America - Cadiz

The leisure port’s proximity to the historic and monumental center of the city is one more incentive to the stopover at this port. Cádiz has a lot to offer culturally, but it also offers fun and spectacular cuisine with its seafood and fish. The Bay of Cádiz is one of the most suitable places for sailing, comprising a large area of water open to the west that closes the castle island of San Sebastián to the east, the outer bastion of the eighteen defenses of the Bay of Cádiz. It is ideal for all kinds of water sports.

Cadiz City - Buses

The coach station for coaches to other cities and other towns in the area of the Bay of Cadiz is located near the entrance to the old walled city to the east overlooking Cadiz bay.

History of Cadiz City

Cadiz is believed to be the oldest city still standing in Europe. Its history is marked by its strategic military and commercial location on the Atlantic Ocean and at the entrance to a large sheltered bay. The settlement was founded by Phoenicians from Tyre (modern day Lebanon) following the Trojan War in about 1.104 BC.
