9:50am: arrival to Medina Sidonia and private walking tour of the old town with a special focus on its Hispanic – Muslim urban planning and traditional constructions, on its Christian monumental buildings, on its traditions and on its breath-taking viewpoints. Understanding of what life on the frontier between the Christian Kingdom of Castilla and the Muslim Kingdom of Granada was like in the 14th and 15th centuries.

11am: end of your tour of Medina Sidonia and private transfer to Vejer de la Frontera.

11:40am: arrival to Vejer de la Frontera and private walking tour of the old town with a special focus on its Moorish architecture and chic-bohemian halo. In Vejer you will also learn about some particular local customs that are still in full swing thanks to the participation of the local community.

1pm: after the tour, enjoy some free time in Vejer to have a bite (at leisure) before returning to Cadiz.

1:30pm: private transfer from Vejer de la Frontera back to Cadiz.

2:20pm: upon arrival to Cadiz start a panoramic tour of the perimeter of the city aimed at learning about the peculiar geography of the city and its colonial defensive system.

2:40pm: after your panoramic tour, start a private walking tour of the old town with a special focus on the foundation of the city by the Phoenicians 3000 years ago and on the period when it held the monopoly of all trade with America, formerly established in Seville. You will start this tour seeing incredibly well preserved evidence of the Phoenician past of the city. This will allow you to understand who the Phoenicians were, where they came from, why they based themselves in Cadiz 3000 years ago and the impact that their arrival had in the present history, culture, gastronomy and wines of Southern Spain. Later, you will travel forward in time to the 18th century, when the city held the monopoly of all trade with the Americas, formerly established in Seville. The bourgeoisie that settled down in Cádiz in this period transformed the city completely into a refined and cosmopolitan colonial hub. These new inhabitants of the city brought to Cádiz not only gold, silver, mahogany and other precious materials but also new ideas that transformed the mentality of the city and later of the whole of Spain. Along this second part of the tour you will visit some selected buildings that will reveal the wealth, refinement and change of mentality that the city enjoyed in this colonial period.

5pm: end of your tour back at Cadiz port.
