Located in the south west of Spain, the port city of Cadiz is the capital of the Cadiz province and has been the home of the Spanish Navy since the 18th century. Cadiz is also the oldest continuously inhabited city in Spain and one of the oldest in south western Europe. There are many things for visitors to Cadiz to see and do. Perhaps one of the city's most famous landmarks is its cathedral which sits on the site of an older cathedral, completed in the 13th century which burnt down in 1596. The cathedral, characterised by its Baroque style, was begun in 1776 and took 116 years to complete. The city is also well known for its antiquity in its various quarters including El Populo, La Vina and Santa Maria.

Puerto del Rosario is the capital of the Spanish island of Fuerteventura, which is one of the Canary Islands, and the town's name means Port of the Rosary. The town is where roughly half of the island's population live and really began to grow in the middle part of the 19th century when its harbour was an important factor in wealth being brought to the area. The town lies on the island's eastern coast and the central part of the town, away from the port, is where visitors will find many shops, cafes, restaurants, bars and hotels, many of which are located around Calle Leon y Castillo, which leads to the port, and the Avenida Juan de Betancourt. Things to do and see in this part of the island include the Casa Museo de Unamuno which is an interesting and popular museum. There is also the Casa de la Cultura which is a cultural centre that hosts regular exhibitions.
Ferry services from the town's port depart to Las Palmas, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Morro Jable.
