2 handpicked hostels in Cádiz, sorted by traveler rating.
Cadiz is the oldest continuously inhabited city in Western Europe, a Phoenician peninsula jutting into the Atlantic with golden sandstone, narrow Casco Antiguo lanes, and one of the best fish markets in the country. Two viable hostels — both in the historic centre, both with included breakfast and shared kitchens — plus surf trips down to El Palmar and a tapas circuit at La Viña that runs late. Slow-travel territory: book three or four nights, not one, and save the long beach day for Playa de la Caleta or Playa de la Victoria.
