Traveling in the Cadiz province, Andalusia, Spain
Submitted by Nomad on Mon, 07/26/2010 - 13:55 |
The Cadiz province in southern Andalusia, Spain is a great area to explore as we already found out in spring 2010 before heading off to Morocco. Places like Seville, Jerez de la Frontera, Arcos de la Frontera and the nature parks Los Alcornocales and Sierra de Grazalema are absolutely worth a visit. Though for those traveling by campervan, motorhome, RV or caravan the Cadiz interior is not the easiest region to travel in as we experienced in the summer of 2010. Have a look.

Camping La Torrecilla - one of the few open campings.
