It is a small town with old buildings on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Some people believe that Hercules built this town. Most of the tourists come to Cadiz to see the Roma ruins, the impressive Cathedral and to know more about its interesting history.
I felt like I had found a pearl in the edge of the old town because it turns out that the beautiful beaches in Cadiz are good for surfing throughout the year even in the winter. In the afternoon, I walked along Santa Maria Del Mar beach and I met some of the Cadiz surfing community, Alberto Lopez Rodriguez and Alberto Gallardo.
According to them, you can surf anytime throughout the year but the best waves come around March until April. During wintertime in December waves at Del mar beach are around 1-2 metres in height and surfers needs to wear full body suits. There is another nice beach that is good for surfing as well in Los Canos. When I asked Alberto, where is the surf spot that he would most like to visit in the world? He responded with ‘Indonesia’. That’s because he often watches surf videos
with Indonesia as the setting. He said that his favourite surfer is Mick Fanning. I was lucky enough to spend my afternoon with the Cadiz surfing community who were really friendly and welcoming. Our conversation finished up with the stunning sunset as golden light reflected in the Atlantic Ocean.
