CĂĄdiz
The Province of Cadiz is so unique that gathers landscapes, atmospheres and features absolutely different within its 7,385 km2.
The Magical Land of the South
The province of Cadiz is an enchanting triangle of land situated in southern Spain; the place where a small strait joins the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, or, in other words, where the Costa del Sol meets the Costa de la Luz. A meeting point steeped in legend, covering just 14 km and two shores: Europe on one side and Africa on the other. Its capital, Cadiz, is the oldest city in the West, while the province is the birthplace of symbols for which Spain is famous around the world: flamenco, the Andalusian horse (the horse of choice for kings and queens across Europe) and the bull, with prestigious farms that have maintained the brilliance and boldness of the breed. This province is also known for its light; for the clarity of the coastline and vast beaches where the trees come down to the shores in some places. Congress Guide • 9

10 • Congress Guide
The white sand beaches are enjoyed throughout the year for sport, strolls, swimming and sun bathing. The multitude of landscapes means there is very varied scenery, atmospheres and natural features. Traces of all periods are still evident in Cadiz: Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs and Visigoths have all left their mark in the cultural sites throughout this province. The 18th century was Cadiz’s Golden Age; a time when overseas relationships were formed and links were established with Latin America that still endure today in the music, architecture, food and very heart of the Cadiz natives. It was here in Cadiz in 1812 that the Courts met and approved the first liberal Spanish Constitution. There are several excellent tours that allow visitors to get to know the province. The White Towns Route through mountainous scenery covering the north of the province is great for discovering the history and urban geography of life in Al-Andalus. The Wine Route, the Horse Route, the Bull Route or Coast Route all encompass the six natural parks, which are inhabited by precious animal and plant species. Cadiz is one of the hearts of flamenco in terms of culture and as an aesthetic, social and festive aspect of Andalusian life. The city is home to some of the most celebrated artists, whose skill
The Magical Land of the South
allows us to enjoy all its forms: song, the guitar and the dance. One of the province’s indispensable elements is its artisan tradition. Leather items are made here to use for marketing such prestigious brands as Loewe, Dior, Chanel or Carolina Herrera. Its mild spring-like climate makes it an attractive place for outdoor sports, golf being one of the most popular among visitors to the province. At the present time, it has 23 high-quality courses that have already hosted some of the most important international tournaments. It is also the perfect place for water sports fans to enjoy all possible types of activities. And to round off any stay, the province of Cadiz offers a wide range of tasty gastronomic treats, using the sea as the base for many of its dishes. Other outstanding ingredients include high-quality and renowned cheeses and olive oil from the Sierra de Cadiz, whose quality is guaranteed by denomination of origin. Also worth mentioning is of course the internationally renowned Jerez wine (sherry), whose many varieties allow connoisseurs to make the perfect selection for any occasion. These wines are stored in more than 40 bodegas, authentic museums steeped in history. They possess a filmic quality, through which prestigious writers, sports stars, European politicians, artists and Hollywood filmmakers have passed.

what it sets apart…
Its efficient event management services and “denomination of origin” tourism have made Cadiz an important base for meetings, conferences and incentive trips. Today its authenticity makes it a fashionable destination. Holding such prestigious sporting competitions as the Motorcycling World Championship, the Ryder Cup, the World Equestrian Games, the Olympic Sailing World Championship and the Windsurfing Championship demonstrates both the quality of the province’s facilities and its organisational capacities - without losing the heat, colour and flavour of Cadiz. Castles, wine cellars, monasteries, 19th century factories, farmhouses and palaces, etc. are becoming the new business backdrops to ensure that every conference is unforgettable – because of course there is no reason why leisure should not be compatible with business, or even learning. The medical-health, pharmaceutical, information technology, telecommunications, financial-economic and socio-political sectors are the greatest source of such events in the province of Cadiz. High rungs of the European Union and in particular the automobile industry have placed their trust in Cadiz’s companies and professionals. In terms of the large urban areas - traditional sites for confeCongress Guide • 13

rences and conventions - the province of Cadiz boasts colour and flavour inside and out; originality and action. New backdrops for leisure activities that will perfectly balance any meeting include: salt mines, marshes, nocturnal romerías, ability and strategy tests... all with the assurance that everything will run as planned. The good thing about Cadiz is that there is always a range of things to choose from. You can enjoy the beach, visit the wine cellars, take the White Towns route or set off on a boat trip to spot dolphins and whales. Everything is within arm's reach. A must-see are the Marco de Jerez bodegas, authentic wine museums that are ideal for hosting dinners and shows. People such as Harold Lloyd, Jean Cocteau, Winston Churchill, Ayrton Senna, Roger Moore and Steven Spielberg are just a few of those who have visited their premises. The list is endless. Another un-missable place is the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art where you can see the horses dance; a true equestrian ballet. You can also enjoy the performance offered by the Yeguada de la Cartuja (La Cartuja Stud Farm), an institution that has been committed to improving the La Cartuja horses since the Middle Ages. There is unique diversity in the province’s natural world: from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, crossing the Guadalquivir aboard the Real Fernando ship to enter the Doñana National Park. The boat docks at various points to allow visitors to see and enjoy the various delights of the Park and its surroundings. More than 30% of the Cadiz province is protected land of exceptional value, beginning with the Grazalema Natural Park - a declared Biosphere Reserve. It protects the Spanish Fir (abies pinsapo), which dates back to the Tertiary Period.
what it sets apart…
There are lots of varied White Towns in this park. The route offers various interesting visits: the blanket factory in Grazalema, where visitors can learn how these are made using the traditional method; the oil mill in Zahara de la Sierra to see how typical olive oil is produced; or the leather workers in Ubrique. The Alcornocales Natural Park is also known as the “last virgin forest” on the Iberian Peninsula. This description is borne out by the abundant vegetation climbing through the trees, the landscape of narrow fluvial valleys, the huge ferns and a very special microclimate. This 160,000 hectare park holds the greatest concentration of cork oaks in Europe. The Breña y las Marismas del Barbate Natural Park, the Doñana, the Estrecho Natural Park and the Bahía de Cadiz Natural Park round off the greenest and most refreshing route in the province of Cadiz. Cadiz is also spectacular from the sky. There are five tours on which visitors can sail through the clouds and see the Bay, or take the White Towns route, among others. Several companies will help you get to know the inland areas and coast in the most varied of ways: windsurfing, kitesurfing and diving classes, as well as boat trips. Groups are offered special sessions to enjoy the bird life and botany, go climbing, do canyon descents, mountaineering, bike tourism, potholing, hang gliding and paragliding. Fincas (farms) and cortijos (country estates) are used to provide the most individual and unique accommodation. Cadiz has more than 30 renovated buildings, witnesses to ways of life dating back to the medieval age of agriculture and cattle rearing. Nowadays these allow tourists relive all the splendour of Andalusia’s traditional architecture. Congress Guide • 15
