Feliz June
Hi Reader
June has arrived, bringing longer days, warm evenings, and that unmistakable feeling that summer is finally here. Across Cádiz, terraces fill up, beach bars come back to life, and the calendar starts filling with food, festivals, and unforgettable local traditions.
This month, we're celebrating some of the things Cádiz does best: incredible food, great company, and experiences that connect you to local culture. Join us for our Cooking Class at Viña La Torre, where you'll learn traditional recipes in a beautiful vineyard setting, surrounded by rolling countryside and excellent local wines.
For those wanting to discover the city through its flavors, our 🐟 Cádiz Market Tasting Tour – Eat Like a Local! offers the perfect opportunity to explore one of the city's most vibrant markets, sample local specialties, and learn why food is at the heart of Cádiz life.
Meanwhile, The Company Room continues its popular Friday tastings, offering a relaxed way to end the week while discovering new wines, spirits, and local products alongside fellow food and drink enthusiasts.
Of course, June wouldn't be complete without one of Andalucía's most magical nights: San Juan. On June 23rd, beaches across the coast come alive with bonfires, music, and traditions that welcome the summer season and celebrate new beginnings.

June also brings the perfect weather to explore the hidden gems of Cádiz—whether it's sampling local cuisine, cycling along the coast, sipping sherry at a traditional bodega, or uncovering centuries of history on a guided walk. Join us for a fun afternoon of tapas, culture, and authentic local experiences. We offer delicious food tours and cultural adventures throughout Cádiz.

What's Going On in the Area FERIA
TUNA FESTIVAL
Every spring, Cádiz celebrates the Ruta del Atún (Tuna Route), a delicious festival honoring the Almadraba-caught bluefin tuna with creative tapas, tastings, and culinary events across coastal towns like Zahara de los Atunes and Barbate. It’s a must for seafood lovers and a great way to dive into the region’s ancient fishing traditions and bold local flavors.
Vejer de la Frontera
Vejer will once again glow under the soft light of 18,000 candles, illuminating its historic town center in a magical atmosphere. Streets, corners, and plazas will be transformed into a dreamlike setting, complete with a candlelit concert to enchant the evening. La Noche de Velas has become one of Vejer’s most anticipated events, drawing crowds from near and far to experience its beauty and charm.
The Vejer International Jazz Festival will feature top-tier artists in an intimate setting. Headliners include New York guitarist Peter Bernstein, joined by jazz greats Danny Grissett, Doug Weiss, and Bill Stewart, as well as Grammy-winning Cuban singer and multi-instrumentalist Alaín Pérez. Over the three days, additional performers will grace the festival’s two stages, and on April 26, free rooftop and street concerts will celebrate International Jazz Day in collaboration with Vejer’s local hospitality scene.
El Puerto de Santa María
Monkey Weekend is an intimate, high-energy music festival that takes over the historic center of El Puerto de Santa María, turning rooftops, patios, and hidden corners into unexpected concert venues. Blending indie, rock, and experimental sounds, it’s a celebration of music, creativity, and local culture with a seriously fun, underground vibe. Think secret shows, spontaneous dancing, and a weekend where the whole town becomes the stage. |
