Cádiz has a different flavor, its particular situation, colonial architecture, atmosphere. Its oyster stone facades, its gardens and malls make it a city without equal in Spain that is worth approaching at any time of the year and if you want to see it with a different and multicolored face then nothing better than to come during the celebration of the Carnival, the most famous in Spain, with its troupes, contests, chirigotas and parades, oyster or bristle, where the whole city participates.
