Cádiz is a large port in the southern part of Spain on the Gulf of
Cádiz. The city is located in the Andalusia region in the Cádiz
province and is part of the Costa de la Luz. The city is situated on a
narrow spit of land and is surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is
an old city, according to several sources it was already inhabited in
the 11th century BC, which would make it the oldest city in Europe.
The city was part of the Roman Empire. Later the Visigoths conquered
the city. After this the Moors conquered the city. Since the 13th
century the city was part of the Castilian empire. On his second
journey to the new world Christopher Columbus set sail from Cádiz.
Nowadays Cádiz is an important port with a large dock. From Cádiz
several ferries set sail to the Canary Islands. Cádiz has a moderate
Mediterranean climate strongly influenced by both the Atlantic Ocean

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
