Overview

Join this 2-hour tour of the old town of Cadiz in small groups (maximum 12 people). We include entry to the Tavira Tower, where you can enjoy a stunning panoramic view of the entire city, and we will enter its Camera Obscura with a specialized local guide, who will take you to discover the history of the city and how people lived in Cadiz during its time of greatest splendor. Immerse yourself in stories and legends from another era that will make your visit to the Tacita de Plata a unique memory and discover the importance of the city's towers and rooftops after the discovery of the New World.
