Alameda Apodaca
A seafront promenade on the north side of the old town, facing the Bay of Cádiz. Ancient banyan trees and colourful tiled benches line the way, with views of Puerto de Santa María.
The Alameda Apodaca is a 19th-century seaside promenade that runs along the northern city walls. Giant banyan and palm trees line it, the ground is paved in black-and-white pebble patterns, and colourful tiled benches are set along the way. Looking north across the Bay of Cádiz, you can see Puerto de Santa María and Rota on the far shore. It is especially beautiful at sunset. The southern end leads to the Church of El Carmen, and the northern end connects to the Candelaria Bastion and Parque Genovés (Genoese Park). Admission is free.
