Carnival Cadiz Free Tour
♡ Save
Join us to learn the history of one of the most important events in Spain, the Carnival of Cádiz. Do not wait for specific dates, throughout the year you can join us on this exciting free tour. Do not miss it.
The "Tacita de Plata" hosts every year one of the oldest carnivals in the West, recognized as a Festival of National Tourist Interest and Treasure of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Spain. With this unique free tour we will learn how the Carnival of Cadiz has become a cultural manifestation that faithfully reflects the identity of Cadiz.
We will immerse ourselves in its curiosities and funny stories: controversial lyrics, rivalry with other carnivals or between the groups themselves, artists who have left their mark... In this way we will understand perfectly the influence of this party in the city and its society and we will decipher why it has become such a famous event.
We will walk through the must-see places of the city as we walk along the "Caminito del Falla", strolling from the City Hall to the Caleta Beach through several points and, of course, through the Gran Teatro Falla, the temple of all the people of Cadiz and lovers of its carnival. We will discover how the carnival groups prepare their performances throughout the year and learn that these are not only entertainment, but also a way to preserve and transmit local traditions.
