Cádiz is from a typical Andalusian character. The old part of town is shaped by the large individuality of the quarters (span.: Barrios) 'El Populo', 'La Viña' or 'Santa Maria'. These beautiful quarters build a strong contrast to the new city part.

In addition the townscape is formed by numerous park plants, old giant trees supposedly brought here by Columbus and many small places.
