| The capital of the province. Situated on the bay which carries the
same name and surrounded by sea. An important Sea port. It is the
oldest city in the western world, with more than 3.000 years of history.
Although it was initially founded by the Phoenicians, many other
cultures have left the marks of their passage, Greeks, Romans, Visigoths
and Arabs. The city is essentially Andalusian, with highly characteristic
areas such as “La Viña”, “Santa María”
or “El Pópulo” which contrast with the modern
constructions of the more recently built quarter. Plants and trees,some
of which are over one thousand years old, can be found in its parks
and avenues.
