  Cadiz is a province of southern Spain, in the
south-western part of the autonomous community
of Andalusia. It is bordered by the provinces
of Huelva, Sevilla, and Málaga, as
well as the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean
Sea, the Strait of Gibraltar and the British
overseas territory of Gibraltar. Its area
is 7,442 square kms.
Its capital is the city of Cádiz with more than 128,000 inhabitants. The largest city is Jerez with more than 204,000 inhabitants. The entire province has a population of 1,194,062 (as of 2006), of whom about 600,000 live in the Bay of Cádiz area. Its population density is 160.45 per square km.
The province of Cádiz has many kms of beaches along the Costa de la Luz and (as of 2005) the highest number of Blue Flags of all coastal provinces in Europe. Some of these beaches are relatively wild and far from urban centres. One of its attractions is that this area does not suffer from the mass tourism seen along the Mediterranean coast. The area near Tarifa is an important windsurfing and kite surfing area due to the almost permanent winds near the Strait of Gibraltar.
North of Cadiz is the sherry triangle where bodegas (wine cellars) can be visited. Jerez de la Frontera is renowned for its sherry, as well as having a longstanding equestrian tradition. Also of note are the inland pueblos blancos (white towns). Known for their unique beauty and spectacular hilltop settings, with whitewashed houses clustered around a ruined castle.
