Avenida Campo del Sur
Campo del Sur
A seafront boulevard behind the cathedral, facing the Atlantic, lined with colourful old buildings and crashing waves. It is nicknamed “the Havana waterfront of Cádiz.”
Avenida Campo del Sur runs along the sea wall on the south side of the old town. On one side, waves break against the stone breakwater; on the other, colourful old façades and the back of the cathedral rise above the road. The scene looks remarkably like Havana’s Malecón, and it stood in for Havana in the James Bond film Die Another Day. Walking along the sea wall from the Puerta de Tierra to La Caleta takes about 20 minutes, and it is the best walking route linking the cathedral, the Roman Theatre and the La Viña neighbourhood. When the wind and waves are strong, keep away from the edge of the sea wall.
