The Oldest City of Western Europe

As I explored the narrow streets of Cádiz, I was transported back in time. The city was founded by the Phoenicians over 3,000 years ago and has an incredibly rich history that is visible in the architecture and layout of the city. The cathedral was particularly striking, with its golden dome that shines in the sunlight. I also visited the Torre Tavira, a watchtower from the 18th century that was used to keep an eye on ships coming in and out of the port. From the top of the tower, I had an incredible view of the city and the ocean beyond. The people of Cádiz were warm and welcoming, and I enjoyed trying the local seafood dishes that are a specialty in this part of Spain.
