Cadiz: Every square leads to the sea (or almost)

In Cadiz, there are two types of visitor. Day visitors and evening and day visitors.

We come across the first ones at the port. They pour off the boat in a crowd, spread out on the cobblestones, and stare at their feet. Fear of stepping on a bone, no doubt. It’s true, Cádiz, the oldest city in Europe, unearths fossils and artifacts every day for those who dig for them. Fresh off the boat, our visitors for the day rush onto double-decker buses to ride along the coast. The more adventurous will walk along it. A loop through a city encircled by the sea.

Then there are the daredevils, the curious, the travelers: the visitors of evenings and days.

For them—who aren’t afraid to get lost, who carve their way through the roads and streets, who lift their smiling eyes to the sky—I conducted an experiment. I set out from four different places (I could have expanded the experiment to include more) to see where it would take me.

The verdict is in: in Cadiz, all the squares lead to the sea (or almost).

The proof is in the video below.👇

And it works for some streets too. Like Sagasta Street.

Is Sagasta your rue de Vaugirard, de Saint-Pierre, Sainte-Catherine? Or your rue Jean-Jaurès, Solférino, Verdun or route de Seysses?
