The Plaza de San Antonio in Cádiz is a vast quadrangular expanse that serves as a bustling focal point in the heart of the city. Its origins trace back to the Campo de Jara, named after a nearby water well that quenched the city’s thirst for many years.
It was renamed in the 1600s to honor the church and hermitage dedicated to San Antonio and this square has witnessed many centuries of Cádiz’s vibrant history.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
