Cádiz promotes itself as equestrian destination for the British travel agents

Travel agents and British journalists specializing in equestrian tourism will travel to Cádiz from today until next Monday for a trip organized by the Tourism Patronage, who wants to promote the province as a destination for this sector.

As sources of the Patronage indicated, the British professionals will visit the “Yeguada del Hierro del Bocado”, the estate Los Alburejos, the Horse Centre “Novo Sancti Petri” and the “Dehesa de Montenmedio”, while also attending the show of “Sanlúcar de Barrameda” on the weekend.

Additionally to the equine sites of the province, the group will also visit hotels of Jerez de la Frontera, the port of Santa María and Rota, conveying that “the variety and singularity of the province makes it in itself a magnificent destination for equine tourism”, comment the sources.

With this initiative the Provincial Tourism Patronage tries that the British equine tourist market gets to know and value the offer of destinations in this specific sector.

Between the 22 and the 25 of June the arrival of another group of travel agents specializing in equine tourism is expected, this time coming from Belgium.

Cádiz welcomes the biggest cruise ship in its history

The Cadiz harbour welcomes for the first time in its history a cruise ship, named “Voyager of the Seas”, property of the navy company Royal Caribbean. It is the biggest cruise ship that ever has entered the harbour of Cadiz. Just arriving from Lissabon, the ship has a stop in Cadiz for the whole day, before it enters the mediterranean region. More than 3.300 tourists and 1.200 staff members disembark from the ship in order to visit the city. According to the harbour authorities, there has only been one cruise ship of this dimension before which has entered the bay: the Norway, property of the Norwegian Cruise Line. This ship, with a length of 313 metres, had to board in La Cabezuela (Puerto Real), as there was the risk it would dock on the ground or the darsene of Cádiz, informed La Voz of cádiz. According to the Royal Carribea, the Voyager has 14 decks with 1.550 berths, an ice-skating-court, a climbing wall, 3 swimming pools, a theatre and an avenue with shops and bars, in order to offer the best possible quantity of service to the clients.
