Cape Scapes — Hikes, Beaches & Bohemian Waves

Cadiz Cape Hikes Beaches Waves

View Spain's golden beaches on a coastal hike, then soak up the serene scene of historic Cape Trafalgar.

Get that Vitamin Sea on the serene scene of the coast. About 1 hour south of Cádiz, passing whitewashed facades of the countryside, you’ll arrive in the old fishing village of Barbate for a glorious coastal hike of La Breña. Take in the natural beauty (plus a number of stunning pics) at the Torre de Tajo, a 16th-century tower on a 300+ ft. cliff. Your day includes a visit to Cape Trafalgar (known for its historic naval battle) and time to check out the bohemian village of Los Caños de Meca.
