Located in the south west of Spain, the port city of Cadiz is the capital of the Cadiz province and has been the home of the Spanish Navy since the 18th century. Cadiz is also the oldest continuously inhabited city in Spain and one of the oldest in south western Europe. There are many things for visitors to Cadiz to see and do. Perhaps one of the city's most famous landmarks is its cathedral which sits on the site of an older cathedral, completed in the 13th century which burnt down in 1596. The cathedral, characterised by its Baroque style, was begun in 1776 and took 116 years to complete. The city is also well known for its antiquity in its various quarters including El Populo, La Vina and Santa Maria.
The city's port provides facilities for passenger traffic, commercial traffic, fishing and sailing boats and includes ship repair facilities. From the port, passenger ferry services operate to Arrecife, Las Palmas and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
The Spanish city and port of Arrecife is located on the island of Lanzarote which forms part of the Canary Islands. The town lies on the island's east coast and is a city full to the brim with culture and history. Arrecife's name is derived from the Spanish for reef and is a reference to the volcanic rock formations that lie out to sea and protect the pretty harbour.
The city can trace its origins back to the 15th century where it began as a small fishing village. Over the next 300 years or so, the settlement grew and eventually became the island's capital in 1852. Today, the city is adorned with boutiques, high end shops selling designer labels and is a popular destination for shoppers. The city also has its own beach, Playa del Reducto, that has lovely golden sand and warm, calm waters to bathe in. There is also a lovely promenade that runs from Playa del Reducto to the city's second beach, Playa del Cable, which is around 2 km to the west.
From the city's port, ferries depart to the other islands in the Canaries and also to other destinations in Europe and Africa.
