Part 3/13:
As the stroll begins, the first stop is El Populo, the oldest neighborhood in Cádiz. The appeal of this area shines through not only in its historic architecture but also in its layered stories. Walking through its quaint streets, one notices the blend of old and new, evidenced by ancient paving stones that were once ballast for ships returning from the New World. The historic mansion of la casa del al-mirante stands out, albeit in a state of disrepair, reflecting the struggle to maintain the city’s rich heritage against the relentless forces of nature.
