Cádiz Information
Campo de Gibraltar
The shoreline of Cádiz, after passing through fishing villages
such as Conil, Barbate, Zahara de los Atunes, continues into
the small but densely populated district named Campo de Gibraltar,
which is very near to Africa. The tourist may be attracted
by water sports practised here, particulary windsurfing from
the long beaches of the area and for which Tarifa, a charming
town with a splendid castle and typical urban design, is especially
recommended. Nearby are the Roman Ruins of Baelo claudia in
Bolonia. Golf is another sporting alternative, practised particulary
in San Roque.
The district contains several important towns, such as Algeciras,
with a population of over 100,000, a busy port and typical
quarters and corners, such as the traditional Alta Square,
with the Church of Nuestra Señpra de la Palma and the
Chapel of Europe, or La Línea de la Concepción,
a flat, white town near the Rock of Gibraltar. Further inland
is appealing because of its setting and striking as a small
Medieval village dominated by its Castle and today inhabited
by craftsmen and women and peace lovers who live as 20th century
hermits. San Roque is the historic capital of the district
and is also worth a visit, as are Los Barrios and Jimena de
la Frontera, the latter with its legendary Castle.
