History - Tartessos

For centuries Tartessos was as mythical as Atlantis and had just asWmany legends woven around it — but whether it was a city or an independent state, no one knows. The Greek historians Herodotus and Ephorus, plus Strabo the geographer, all wrote about Tartessos. The Roman historian Pliny the Elder indicated that Cádiz and Tartessos were really the same city but, although, the knowledge of early historians seems incomplete, they were all agreed that Tartessos existed.

Cadiz Hotel Reviews

Reviews of the prestigious hotels of Cadiz. The city of Cadiz is an amazing place to explore on foot. Situated at the end of a peninsula, Cadiz is surprisingly compact and easy to navigate, even for the most timid of visitors. Its cathedral, its ancient walls, its old fortifications, and its narrow streets all work to invite the visitor into the city's heart and engulf them in the soul of the place.

Canyoning

Canyoning is an increasingly popular outdoor activity, or extreme sport, which involves descending gorges using a combination of walking, climbing, jumping, sliding, abseiling (rappelling), and swimming (or wading) in rivers and waterfalls. It is also a great way of exploring remote, spectacular scenery which may not be accessible on foot.

History

Archeological discoveries suggest that Cambil was once part of the Roman municipality of Virgilia, linked by a Roman road connecting Cástulo with Acci via Mentesa Bastia. However, it transitioned into the Middle Ages as one of the settlements mentioned by Al Udri in the tenth century within the Cora de Elvira, situated on the road from Córdoba to Almería and Pechina through Jaén. Between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, Cambil served as an advanced stronghold on the northern border of the Nasrid Kingdom together with Alhabar and Arenas. It briefly fell into Castilian hands between 1312 and 1369 due to the conquest of the Infante Pedro de Castilla.
