In the province of Cádiz, in Andalusia, southwetsren Spain

 "I have seen dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills

Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain...."
-- from Beauty, a poem by John Masefield
====================================================================
(in southwestern Spain) The province of Cádiz, in Andalusia, fronting the Mediterranean Sea to the southeast and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, was formed in 1833 from districts taken from Sevilla. Although its capital is the city of Cádiz, the largest city is Jerez de la Frontera. Algeciras is the second most populated city. The entire province had a population of 1,245,960 (as of 2021), of whom about 600,000 live in the Bay of Cádiz area (including Jerez), making it the third most populous province in Andalusia.
+ The eastern part of the province is crossed by wooded spurs of the Baetic Cordillera, while the west-central part is a low plain crossed by the Guadalete and Barbate rivers and their tributaries. Along the coast are numerous salt ponds that constitute the basis for one of the province’s most important industries. The provincial coastline also has important harbors, including the Bays of Gibraltar and Cádiz. Point Tarifa (Point Marroquí), on the Strait of Gibraltar, is the southernmost cape on the European mainland. The mild climate and naturally fertile soil make fruit and vine growing the main economic activities. Jerez de la Frontera is famous for the production and export of sherry. Cork is obtained from the mountain forests, and fish are caught off the coast (at Algeciras and Barbate) and salted for export. Much salt is obtained by evaporation of seawater in pans near Cádiz city. Apart from Cádiz, the provincial capital, important urban centers are Algeciras, Tarifa, Jerez de la Frontera, and Rota.

+ If you had to pick just one region to explain Andalucía in its full, complex beauty, it'd probably be Cádiz province. Lying across Spain's southernmost province are craggy mountains, lots of olive trees, thrillingly sited white towns (Arcos, Vejer, Zahara de la Sierra), fortified sherry, festivals galore, flamenco in its purest incarnation, the font of Andalucian horse culture, and a dreamy blonde-sand coastline, the Costa de la Luz, sprinkled with surfer-cool towns like Tarifa. Packed in among all this condensed culture are the expansive Sierra de Grazalema and Los Alcornocales natural parks, covering an unbroken tract of land from Olvera in the north to Algeciras in the south. The same line once marked the ever-changing frontier between Christian Spain and Moorish Granada, and that ancient border remains dotted with castle-topped, whitewashed towns, many with a "de la Frontera" suffix that testifies to their volatile history. One of the province's attractions is its contrast to the mass tourism elsewhere on the Mediterranean coast. (There are extensive nature reserves in the region and the unspoiled feel of the area is heightened by the presence of wild animals including cows and horses.)
