A SEA OF POSSIBILITIES

It’s no secret that the province of Cádiz is known as a sun and sand tourist destination. It’s no wonder it boasts 260 kilometers of coastline and 138 kilometers of uncrowded beaches. But aside from enjoying the sea and sun of Cádiz, visitors have plenty of cultural, culinary, sports, and recreational options at their fingertips to round out their 2025 vacation in the province of Cádiz. Here are some suggestions for you:

🌴 Rota: beach, relaxation, and family fun

If you’re thinking about a family vacation on the Cádiz coast, Rota is the perfect destination for those looking to unwind by the sea without sacrificing on the fun.

What awaits you this summer in Rota?

• Beach concerts: Every year, the Rota coastline becomes the setting for open-air concerts at sunset, ideal for enjoying with family or friends at beachside bars.

• Night markets and craft fairs: Perfect for strolling after a day at the beach, finding unique products and tasting local specialties. These include the traditional markets organized by the Hotel Playa de la Luz on its seafront promenade, ideal for discovering and purchasing local handicrafts.
• Patron saint festivals and street parties: The Urta Festival (July 31st to August 3rd) is one of the most anticipated events, with music and a great local atmosphere. And of course, don’t forget to try urta, this tasty local fish that you won’t find anywhere else.

• Guided tours. Rota City Council organizes guided tours of Luna Castle, a medieval fortress that we recommend and currently houses the local government headquarters. Don’t miss other historical monuments such as the Torre de la Merced or the Central Market.

• Water sports activities: From our hotels and tourist apartments, we offer kayaking, paddleboarding, boat trips, and even scuba diving initiations, for both adults and children. Great plans to enjoy the summer in a refreshing way.

🎶 Jerez: Pure Flamenco, Gastronomy, and Culture

Jerez has submitted its candidacy to be the European Capital of Culture in 2031, and it has every reason to be so. For those who want to experience summer in a different way, Jerez de la Frontera offers an irresistible combination of art, tradition, and modernity. And it’s just 15 minutes from the nearest beach.

The best of summer 2025 in Jerez:

• Tío Pepe Festival (July 12 to August 15): one of the great musical events of the Andalusian summer, featuring top-level artists in a unique setting: the González Byass wine cellars. More information about concerts and side activities here.

• Flamenco Nights. The birthplace of this truly Andalusian art form is filled with flamenco shows in the summer. In July and August, Flamenco Fridays bring the essence of Jerez to locals and visitors.

The flamenco scene rounds out at the end of August with a new edition of the Bulería Festival, the date, lineup, and location yet to be confirmed.

• Wine tastings and winery experiences: discover the soul of Jerez through guided tours with tastings, pairings, and themed activities at some of the city’s most iconic wineries.

• Wine harvest festivals, from August 30th to September 14th, highlighting wine tourism in Jerez, and for those whose vacation is in the final stretch of summer. These festivals have been declared of International Tourist Interest.
• Equestrian tourism: Don’t miss the show “How Andalusian Horses Dance” at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, which you can easily reach from our hotels in Jerez.
