Parador^® Cadiz

Hotel Atlantico

The Parador^® of Cadiz reopened in September 2012 after being totally rebuilt. This new building presents a modern, updated architecture, in which light, space and noble materials are key elements.

Its new architecture blends the most diverse shapes and materials such as wood, marble, steel, stone and glass giving the building a contemporary look.

The Parador^® is located in the historical centre of Cadiz, between La Caleta beach and the Genoves Park.

The Cadiz Parador^® has one hundred and four bedrooms including eighteen double bedrooms and eighteen junior suites, all equipped with mini bar, safe and hair dryer. Bedrooms are modern and beautifully decorated. Some have impressive terraces overlooking the ocean and the town of Cadiz.

As with all hotels in the Parador^® group, the restaurant specialises in the local dishes and it also has a gluten free menu.

It is said that Cadiz was founded over 3000 years ago by Hercules while resting from his labours. Its inhabitants gained great wealth when it became the major port of Spain for the trade with the colonies in Latin America.

Relics of these prosperous times can be found in the city museum together with the more troubled times of the Napoleonic Wars.
Other interesting places to visit in the old area of the town include the walls and fortresses of Puertas Tierra, the Baroque style cathedral, the archaeological museum with its collection of Phoenician sarcophagi, and the San Carmen hospital which has a Greco picture.
On the day of Carnival (the day before the start of lent) the local festivities have been declared an 'International Touristic Attraction' as it is one of the most important in Europe. It includes choirs and parades including the ”chirigotas” (which is a humorous parade).

Also worth visiting is the Horse Fair held in May in Jerez. Whilst there, taste the sherry in its birthplace and also see flamenco dancing. 

It is a convenient spot for those wanting to visit the inland 'white villages' the caves or the mountains. Also worth a visit is the British enclave of Gibraltar although border restriction often result in long delays.

Parador^® facilities include bar and restaurant, heating, lift, free wireless Internet, parking facilities (without security and limited places), garden, spa and a seasonal swimming pool.
