Esta es la provincia más al sur de la península ibérica, y está a solo 14 km. de África.Limita con las provincias de Sevilla y Huelva en el norte, la provincia de Málaga al este, el Océano Atlántico en el suroeste, el Mar Mediterráneo en el sureste, y el Estrecho de Gibraltar y la colonia británica de Gibraltar en el sur.
Historia
Fenicios, griegos y romanos poblaron esta provincia y dejaron un importante testimonio de su presencia a lo largo de la costa de Cádiz.Lo que es más, una serie de hitos históricos resaltan la estrecha relación entre Cádiz y el resto de la península ibérica: en 711, los musulmanes conquistaron estas tierras al derrotar a los visigodos en el río Guadalete, cambiando así el curso de la historia; en tres ocasiones, los barcos de Colón zarparon de aquí en sus viajes al Nuevo Mundo y llegaron a sus hogares en estos mismos puertos, que con el tiempo se transformaron en un punto de encuentro de las corrientes culturales entre Andalucía y América; Finalmente, otro evento importante fue la firma en Cádiz en 1812 de la primera Constitución española, que convirtió a la ciudad en la capital de la nación durante tres años.

Cádiz - City in Spain
Cádiz is an ancient port city in the Andalucia region of southwestern Spain. The home of the Spanish Navy, the port boomed in the 16th-century as a base for exploration and trade. It has more than 100 watchtowers, including the iconic Torre Tavira, which was traditionally used for spotting ships. On the waterfront is the domed, 18th-century Cádiz Cathedral, featuring baroque and neoclassical elements.
The remains of the medieval city wall enclose winding Old Town streets that link squares such as flower-filled Plaza de Topete and Plaza de Mina. The latter is home to the Museum of Cádiz, with displays on archaeology, puppets and art. Over time, Cádiz has been inhabited by Phoenicians, Romans and Moors, and a Roman theater was excavated in the 1980s. Walkways pass over the remains of a Phoenician settlement at Yacimiento Arqueológico Gadir. Caleta Beach lies between 2 seafront forts: San Sebastián and Santa Catalina. Nearby Campo del Sur promenade and La Playa de la Victoria are lined with shops and restaurants.
