Unknown Cádiz: 4 unique experiences to explore the city
from a different perspective

Escaping to Cádiz is always a great idea: its stunning beaches, its endless Phoenician, Roman, and Arab heritage, and because it’s one of the oldest cities in the world. This time, we propose 4 experiences for you to enjoy the city from very different angles. But the truth is, from whichever angle you view it, this southern Spanish city is a wonder.
At BYPILLOW, we have hotels in Cádiz, located in the city center, allowing you to discover all the secrets and most interesting corners.

Wine Tasting at Baluarte de la Candelaria

The Baluarte de la Candelaria is an 18th-century fortification, originally built to defend the city from sea attacks. Today, it’s a vibrant place where culture, history, and gastronomy come together. Participating in a wine tasting here is not only a delight for the palate but also for the eyes.

The province of Cádiz is famous for producing unique wines, from the renowned Jerez wine to lesser-known varieties like the reds from the Sierra de Cádiz. While enjoying panoramic views of the bay and tasting these wines, you’ll learn about the traditional techniques that have endured for centuries.

Treat yourself to gaditan cuisine at the central market

The Central Market of Cádiz, inaugurated in 1838, is one of the oldest markets in Spain and the epicenter of Gaditan gastronomy. Here, the freshness of the ingredients is unbeatable, offering everything from the freshest fish to local fruits and vegetables.


There are also stalls where you can enjoy the best traditional dishes like “pescaito frito” or the delicious “tortillitas de camarones,” and where you can see that Gaditan cuisine is rich and blends Arab and Mediterranean influences. And everything is made with the freshest products by vendors with lots of charm and friendliness.


Gaditan cuisine is known for its freshness, flavor, and influence of the sea. Here are some typical dishes of Cádiz’s gastronomy that you shouldn’t miss:

Pescaito frito: A classic of Gaditan cuisine, it consists of small fish like squid, baby squid, and anchovies, breaded and fried. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it’s a popular tapa in local bars and restaurants.

Tortillitas de camarones: These thin and crispy fritters are made with small shrimp mixed in a light batter of flour and spices. They are fried until golden and are a delicious and savory appetizer.

Atún encebollado: A dish that combines fresh tuna with onion and tomato, cooked slowly with spices. The result is a rich and flavorful stew, ideal to accompany with rice or bread.

Chicharrones de Cádiz: Different from traditional chicharrones, these are small fried pork pieces, crispy and salty, enjoyed as a tapa or appetizer.

Carrillada de cerdo: Also known as “carrillera,” it is the pork cheek, slowly cooked in a rich and deep sauce. The result is tender, juicy meat that melts in your mouth.

Flamenquín: A breaded and fried pork or chicken fillet, similar to a Milanese, served with lemon and sometimes accompanied by fries or salad.
