Planing de la visita
At sunset, we'll meet at the Plaza de San Juan de Dios, next to the Moret Monument, where our official guide will welcome us and introduce us to the starting point of this route of mysteries and legends. A few steps away, we'll enter the narrow Callejón del Duende, imbued with that intimate and elusive atmosphere that characterizes old Cádiz, before continuing toward the solemn façade of the Casa del Almirante, a silent witness to stories linked to the city's naval power.
From there, we'll move toward the Callejón de los Piratas, whose walls still bear the imprint of the corsair presence in the bay, before peeking into the space that connects the Old and New Cathedrals, where the fusion of architectural styles is enhanced by the play of light and shadow at dusk. The walk becomes more open in Campo del Sur, by the sea, where the wind carries echoes of bygone eras and our senses are heightened.
The tour continues between the evocative ruins of the old Sagasta Asylum, also known as the Capuchinos, and the imposing Church of San Lorenzo, whose exterior lines evoke the weight of religiosity in Cádiz life. Turning down Callejón del Tinte, we'll feel the neighborhood's popular pulse, a corner of humble tradition, before reaching the lively Plaza Mina, the heart of social gatherings and nightlife. A few meters away, the Parish of San Antonio hosts our final contemplative tale. We conclude the experience in the elegant Alameda Apodaca and the nearby Plaza de España, where we'll share impressions under the centuries-old shade of its trees and streetlights.
In total, a tour of approximately two hours combines the architecture, history, and most enigmatic folklore of the Tacita de Plata, ideal for those looking to discover the most hidden and fascinating side of Cádiz without completely revealing its secrets. We look forward to seeing you for a unique adventure at the edge of night!
