Cádiz is flamenco, it is sea, it is good food, it is pure travelling inspiration. Cádiz awakens all the senses and is so magnetic that you will always want to come back again and again. No wonder The New York Times chose it as one of the best provinces in Spain in 2019. You can start to get to know it through its capital, La Tacita de Plata. La Caleta beach will always have the best sunsets you can dream of, in summer and winter. And, why not, the sunrises too. The sun may be more likely to rise in Antequera, but its rays also work wonders here in the early hours of the day. Get to know its Cathedral. It has been bringing beauty and heritage to the city since the 18th century. So much so that in 1931 it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest. Don't leave without discovering the Castle of Santa Catalina or strolling through the Genovés Park and enjoying its botanical garden. You'll experience the classic Cádiz in the Plaza de las Flores and in the Plaza de San Juan de Dios. The performing arts await you in the Gran Teatro de Cádiz; and the good produce of its tables, in the Central Market. You will fall in love with Cádiz for its people and the charm of its streets, but you will stay for its gastronomy. Take note, this is everything you can't miss: Retinto meats, fried fish -the legendary deep-fried "pescaíto frito"-, tuna in all its forms, shrimp omelettes, salad and "papas aliñás". Wash it down it with the best Cádiz wines or a cold beer.

Sercotel Aura Algeciras
Algeciras possesses that extra touch of mystery and mingling that border towns boast. On clear days, you only have to walk a few minutes from our modern Sercotel Aura Algeciras to get closer to the sea and try to make out the enigmatic coasts of North Africa. And while you're at the beach – either in the Rinconcillo to the north or in the Playa de Getares to the south of the city – take the opportunity to take a dip in these waters that are a mixture of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.
This same mixture can be felt in the dishes prepared with all the care and skill you can imagine by the chefs of our restaurant. They will treat you to great seafood and fresh fish from the Strait of Gibraltar and the Bay of Algeciras. Also with fabulous meats and the products of an exuberant and generous Andalusian vegetable garden. Here we are committed to proximity and product quality. For a lighter snack, at the Aura Algeciras Hotel we have a cafeteria whose most valuable asset is its wonderful terrace. In a land like this, we enjoy sunlight at every moment.
The same sunlight bathes the 60 rooms, distributed over 6 floors, of the Aura Algeciras. They will make you feel at home. They are spacious, modern, decorated with great minimalist taste and equipped with everything you need to ensure you have a pleasant rest, whether you are travelling for work, leisure or a mixture of both. If it's work that has brought you to Algeciras, enjoy our free Wi-Fi connection throughout the hotel and find the concentration you need in our cafeteria, the common rooms or in your comfortable room. But we don't want you to forget to enjoy yourself.
Because in this Andalusian city, just a little more than a quarter of an hour's walk from our Aura Hotel Algeciras, iconic places such as the vibrant Plaza Alta, the Town Hall, the church of Nuestra Señora de la Palma or the wonderful Mercado de Abastos, where you can admire the exquisite local gastronomy at first hand.
To stretch your legs, we recommend a stroll through the María Cristina Park or the River de la Miel path. Your dog will be happy to run around outdoors.

Sercotel Cruz del Mar
Welcome to the Sercotel Cruz del Mar, a beachfront hotel in Chipiona where comfort and elegance are swathed in the Atlantic breeze. Next to Cruz del Mar beach and just a five minute walk from the city centre, this is the perfect retreat to unwind.
Our 68 rooms, some with a sea view, invite you to wake up every day to the lapping of the waves. Whether you're travelling as a couple, a family or with your faithful furry friend—because we do welcome pets—here you'll find your perfect spot. For those moments of pure relaxation, our rooftop pool offers you a space to unwind while enjoying the spectacular view. And if you come by car, forget your worries: we have a car park for your total convenience.
But that’s not all. At the Sercotel Cruz del Mar, we also have your special moments in mind. Our events and celebrations room is ideal for weddings, family reunions or business meetings whose memory you’ll want to savour. All with the sea as a witness.
From the hotel, the most iconic sights of Chipiona are within easy reach. The majestic Faro de Chipiona, the tallest lighthouse in Spain, is a must-see. Climbing up its 62 metres may seem like a challenge, but the views that await you at the top are well worth the trouble. Be warned, though: there’s no lift. Do it, and your efforts will be rewarded. If you prefer to stay at sea level, the scenery from its base also has its charm. Nearby, the Cádiz and the New World Interpretation Centre, located in Chipiona Castle, invites you to learn how this region played a key role in the Discovery of America. The experience is fascinating and packed with history.
For wine lovers, the Bodega Museum of Moscatel is a delightful stop. Here you’ll learn all about this dessert wine that is an emblem of the region, and of course, you’ll also be able to sample some. Last but not least, the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de Regla is a sight not to be missed. Its neo-Gothic architecture and the legend that surrounds it infuse the ensemble with spirituality and history.
And after a day of exploring, return to the hotel to enjoy our buffet breakfast the next day. Get ready for a sunset stroll along Cruz del Mar Beach, with the sand between your toes and the Atlantic at your side. Or end the day with a leisurely dinner in the city centre, savouring the local delicacies.
The Sercotel Cruz del Mar is much more than just a place to stay. It is a starting point for adventures, a haven to unwind and a perfect setting for an unforgettable memory. Come and see for yourself.

The white villages of Cádiz
Cádiz is also inland, a province for hiking, as it enjoys a very pleasant temperature all year round. Did you know that the Sierra de Grazalema is one of the places where it rains the most in Spain? This green spot will surprise you if you are one of those who are looking for leafy forests in the province.
You can try following the route of the white villages, those which, with their way of life, are faithful guardians of the traditions of a culture, that of Cádiz, so unique and hospitable.
Arcos de la Frontera, Vejer, Zahara de la Sierra, Ubrique and Bornos are some of them. Beautiful, very beautiful. You will fall in love with their architecture of white houses, cobbled alleys, small churches, viewing points and hidden courtyards.
To round off this trip, visit the birthplace of flamenco: Jerez de la Frontera. Its tapas bars, tablaos flamencos and bodegas are always a guarantee of good times. We can't think of a better end to the party.
Cádiz is known in its sea and in its villages. If you are going to visit the coast you cannot forget Sanlúcar de Barrameda, much less its prawns; Chipiona and Puerto de Santa María. Further south, the classics that never fail: Conil de la Frontera, El Palmar de Vejer, Zahara de los Atunes and Los Caños de Meca.
In Barbate you will taste the best tuna in the world, and in Valdevaqueros you will find one of the most beautiful beaches in Spain, Bolonia and its sand dunes. While in Tarifa, you will combat or fall in love with the wind and kitesurfing. It will be impossible to forget the sight of the kites flying over Los Lances beach.
It will only take you half an hour by car to get from Tarifa to Algeciras, where we are waiting for you at the Sercotel Aura Algeciras. In the area you can visit the church of Nuestra Señora de la Palma, the Plaza Alta de Algeciras or walk along the Río de la Miel path. A little bit of inland after so much sea is always good.
