Cycle paths all over

Cádiz has very well-developed cycle paths.

A specially developed cycle path goes all the way around and another through the middle of the new town. Then of course there are a few more criss-crossing. You can of course cycle on all streets, but it's not quite as comfortable.

There are therefore quite a lot of cyclists in Cádiz and also a lot of e-scooters. Unlike in Germany, these are also allowed to ride on the cycle paths. They whizz through the area quite quickly and are obviously very popular, especially with young people.

The Eurovelo route number 8 starts here in Cádiz and leads all along the Mediterranean coast to Athens. I cycled part of it to San Fernando and thought about whether this might be a good project to cycle longer parts of it.

If you ever visit Cádiz, take your bike with you or rent one, it's definitely worth it if you don't just want to shop in the old town and sit in bars and cafés but visit the long beaches, beach bars and natural parks.Les mer
