Castillo de San Sebastian

Fascinating history! It began when Venetians used this land for quarantine, eventually leading to the construction of a chapel, lighthouse, and fortress. Interestingly, the tower was once dismantled to avoid becoming a target during wartime. Today, it remains an active lighthouse and offers one of the most beautiful walks in Cádiz along the sea. totally pet friendly!

If you are in Cadiz and have free time to spare before dinner I would say to visit the fort of San Sabastian, the views are the calm sea and the tons of pet owner on the side beach it's a fairly half a mile walk up and down but you get to see the sunset with alot of local Spanish people that are true sunset lovers and make a religious journey here every day to see the gorgeous sunset that ends in the Ocean most of the time without any clouds in the horizon to block it , then you can walk back lazily to your favourite tapas bar or restaurant as they all open late around 8 or 8: 30 pm , we sat many a times in the fort and a few times at the entrance and the sunset were gorgeous a real Sunset lover place I may say

Another great spot to walk around, enjoy the view, but nearly no information other than a couple of very general information posters. But this seems like a locals spot to relax around, especially the narrow path to get to it. Small sand bars and kids jumping off the bridge into the water.

A really cool place to visit. The views are spectacular and it’s amazing to see the history and style of the buildings. Free entry as well!

A unique walk out along a causeway to the sparse remains of the castle. There are terrific views back to Cadiz old town and along the coast in both directions. The site itself is maintained but very bare and there is no information on what must be an extremely historic site.

The Castillo de San Sebastian (1706) occupies a tiny island off Playa de La Caleta at the westernmost point of Cádiz, Spain. Its artillery was intended to protect the city from hostile ships approaching from the west. The castle is largely abandoned but still accessible to the public. The entrance is always open, inviting the curious to come in. It's on a small island off Playa de La Caleta, accessible via Paseo Fernando Quiñones. It's an interesting one-kilometer walk.

Great place to see Cadiz from a distance. No tickets needed. Due to its nature, I recommend checking tide times as it's a lot more attractive to visit during high tide😉 Ideal spot to watch the Atlantic during storms 👌🏻 We've been lucky on this front and saw it in very windy days🌊🌊👌🏻 It was interesting to observe huge difference in conditions between south and north side of the walkway. Could be difficult to make it all the way in and out without getting wet, so be prepared for a challenge during high tide on windy days😉

You can walk the grounds and go to the top for amazing views but you can't enter any of the buildings. I would've like a guided tour and seen the inside. Wear comfortable shoes!
