ANDALUCIA BY WHEELCHAIR -- part 3
ANDALUCIA BY WHEELCHAIR
To know Cadiz, you must roll through the streets in this city, the oldest in Western Christendom. Peer into courtyards ornamented with Arabic tiles and you can almost picture Phoenician merchants, Berber spice traders, and sailors readying for ocean voyages to the New World.
Despite its age, Cadiz is an amazingly compact and accessible city. The key is finding centrally located underground parking – Plaza San Antonio has a great one -- with accessible spaces and an elevator up to the grand plaza where it is located.
Cadiz is a city of plazas where you can walk and roll from port to beach to fortress in a town surrounded by water on three sides. Cadiz is a civilized place with flower markets and an old world pace that means most shops close on Sunday.
