Cádiz is an ancient port city in southwestern Spain, It was originally built on an island separated from the mainland by a narrow channel called Caño de Sancti Petri, which runs through the marshes that sit on the outside of the city.
The port once housed the Spanish Armada and in the 16th century became one of the most important bases for exploration and trade. It is also known for its watchtowers, traditionally used to spot ships, and pirates.
