La Alcoba del Agua

The Cádiz province

Cádiz is air, sea, music and magic

The Cádiz province is separated from Morocco by the Mediterranean Sea but also has a border with Great Britain through Gibraltar. This land used to be where the oxen of legendary Tartessian king Geryon used to pasture, with a deeply-rooted heritage of great beauty.
