Feliz October
Hi Reader
October brings a shift in energy. The long summer days have ended, but Cádiz still has plenty of sunshine and sparkle. The tourists may have thinned out a bit, yet the calendar is far from empty — this is the month when locals reclaim the season, and we all settle into a new rhythm.
And what a rhythm it is! 🍂✨
This month, The Company Room is in full swing, with events every Friday evening. — We’ve updated the schedule: all events now run from 7pm to 9pm.
Highlights you won’t want to miss:
🎶 Music in the Viña Fest – Saturday, October 4th
We’ve been counting down the days for this one — live music, vineyard vibes, and a perfect autumn night.
🥘 Paella Night (Round 2!) – Back by popular demand after last month’s sellout success. Trust us, you don’t want to miss it this time!
And across the province, there are festivals worth marking your calendar for:
⛵ SailGP Cádiz – Watch the world’s fastest catamarans fly across the Bay of Cádiz in this high-adrenaline international regatta.
🐂 Ruta del Retinto, Zahara de los Atunes – A culinary celebration of retinta beef, with creative tapas, tastings, live music, and more.
Dont forget October 26th, Spain switches to winter time. — meaning an extra hour of sleep, but also shorter evenings from then on.
So while October may be a little slower than summer, the experiences are richer than ever. Whether it’s paella, music, sailing, or tapas, there’s no shortage of reasons to get out and enjoy.
✨ Come join us — October in Cádiz is waiting!

And don’t forget — October is the perfect month to join one of our tours. From tasting local cuisine and sipping sherry in a bodega, to biking along coastal routes or strolling through Cádiz’s historic streets, we’ve got unforgettable experiences ready for you.
