Bound by the waters of the Costa de la Luz (Coast of Light) on three sides, Cadiz is the captial city of the province of the same name and struts out into the Atlantic on a thin slither of land.
The city of Cadiz was originally founded by the Phoenicians around 1104 BC and is possibly the oldest continuously inhabited city in south western Europe. Over the centuries, many rulers have been overthrown by many nations including the Romans, Visigoths, and Moors.
