Excursion Viva la pepa tour at Cadiz

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Enjoy an amusing walking excursion dedicated to the bicentenary celebrations of 'The Pepa' - the signing of the Spanish constitution in the year 1812. An official guide will give you an overview of the history of the signing during a pleasant stroll through the old town of Cadiz.


Old Town

Leaving from the port of Cadiz towards the Plaza España you will find a monument dedicated to the event. During the tour you will meet two 19th Century "characters" in typical Andalusian style dress - Mr. Ramon Power Giralt (a member of the Spanish Parliament) and Lolita Gaditana. In an amusing and distinctive, anecdotal-style these two characters will describe how people lived during this fascinating era.


The stroll continues through streets, gardens and squares, where you will find other places of interest relating to this epoch, including the Church of Carmen, Plaza de San Antonio, Calle Ancha, and the Plaza de San Francisco. Being the oldest town in Western Europe, Cadiz is a great setting for a walking tour steeped in history and making it one of the most important towns of the 17th and 18th centuries.
