Apartments in Cádiz

If you are looking at apartments in Cádiz, the first thing you should know is that there are 959 accommodations of this type in the province, with an average price of 157 euros per night and a minimum of around 59. The offer is broad, but it is worth distinguishing between the capital and the coastal towns, because they have nothing to do with each other. In the city of Cádiz, the most practical thing is to stay in the old town, near the Catedral or the Plaza de las Flores: everything is done on foot, the streets are narrow and the atmosphere is that of a neighborhood. If you prefer the beach without taking the car, the area of La Caleta or la Viña leaves you with the sand five minutes away, although the apartments tend to be smaller and with less light. On the other hand, if you are looking for tranquility and space, look toward the Cortadura promenade, but you will need transport to go to the center.

Outside the capital, the options change a lot. El Puerto de Santa María and San Fernando are good alternatives if you want to sleep well and get around by car, with somewhat lower prices than in Cádiz city. Conil, Vejer or Tarifa are another story: more expensive in summer, but with larger apartments and a natural setting. The main difference is in the style of trip: in the capital you have history, bars and everything nearby; in the coastal towns, wide beaches and more calm, at the cost of depending on a vehicle. To get around, the commuter train connects Cádiz with San Fernando, El Puerto and Jerez, and it is reliable; the intercity bus reaches almost all the towns, but with less frequency. If you go to the mountains, such as Grazalema or Arcos, the car is essential.

As for the price, high season (July and August) sends rates soaring, and there are also peaks at Semana Santa and on long weekends. If you can, travel in May, June or September: the weather is still good for the beach and the apartments drop quite a bit. Before booking, check three things: whether the accommodation has an elevator (many old buildings do not), whether air conditioning is included or has an extra cost, and whether the kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher or washing machine, because they do not always indicate it clearly. Also look at the cancellation policy, because some apartments require full payment in advance and do not refund anything if you cancel. Lastly, pay attention to the exact location on the map: sometimes they advertise “center” and in reality they are twenty minutes away on foot. With that clear, choosing among the 959 apartments will be much easier.
