Nestled in the heart of the historic center, Plaza de San Juan de Dios is one of the most important squares in the city, steeped in history and charm. Its irregular layout is a testament to its rich past, dating back to the 1500s when it served as a bustling center of urban activity and trade with the Americas.
As you stand in this vibrant square, take a moment to admire the impressive architecture that surrounds you. The Town Hall, an exquisite example of Elizabethan style from the 1700s, stands as a symbol of the city’s heritage and grandeur.

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!
