San Fernando is enjoyed all year round
Walk the streets of the city and discover its history
San Fernando, Cradle of Modern Constitutionalism, played an important role during the War of Independence, specifically in 1810. The then Villa de la Real Isla de León and its neighbour the city of Cádiz were the only territory free from the French invader.
La Isla de León was born in the 18th century thanks to merchants who invested their profits from trade with the Indies and to the centralisation of the modern facilities of the Navy in the area, both because of its privileged geographical location and because of its traditional ship repair and supply activities.
José Monje Cruz, Camarón de la Isla, is the character who best represents the city of San Fernando internationally, and for this reason, preserving the honor of the world flamenco myth, a route has been designed in his hometown that shows where he was born and grew up in his early years.
This coastal barrier, located at the tip of San Fernando, constitutes a line of virgin dunes that emerged from the Atlantic opposite the Sancti Petri Marshes. Along with the undoubtable scenic value of the setting, this natural monument is one more display of the complex formation of the Cádiz coast.
VISIT
Located on Sancti Petri Islet, it is a defensive fortress that forms part of the line of fortresses that protected the entrance of the Sancti Petri tributary. It is historically related to one of the most important and famous temples of olden times: Melqart-Hércules Temple.
Sancti Petri Castle
Undoubtedly one of the most magical parts of San Fernando. This well-known traditional sailors’ neighbourhood is the perfect place to enjoy its views and gastronomy.
This is a pedestrian alleyway 230 feet long and 6.6 feet wide between calle Real and calle Murillo. It is the passage of an old estate from 1754. Back then, the alleyway was open during the day and closed at night. In 1852, the doors were removed and it did not close again.
