:Gælunefni Cádiz er síðan Tacita de plata ("little silver,,litli cup"silfurbikarinn´´)
Cádiz er sú borg sem talin er til elstu byggðra borga í Evrópu. Hafnarborg á Suðvestur Spáni. Höfuðborg samnefnds héraðs. Hefur og verið aðalheima höfn spænska sjóhersins og þar er jafnframt háskólinn í héraðinu. Staðsetning borgarinnar er mjög sérstök. Cádiz edr í raun byggð á eyju og hefur lega hennar vissulega haft áhrif á sögu hennar gegnum tíðina, bæði í viðskipta- og sögulegu samhengi. Séð frá hafi, að baki sínum fornu borgarmúrum er Cádiz í senn dulúðug og mikilfengleg.

Cádiz is a city and port in southwestern Spain. It is the capital of the province of the same name, a province which is one of the eight comprising the autonomous community of Andalusia.
 
Cádiz, the oldest continuously-inhabited city in western Europe, has been a principal home port of the Spanish Navy since the accession of the Spanish Bourbons in the 18th century. It is also the site of the University of Cádiz.Website: http://www.cadiz.es/
 
The city's peculiar location at the end of a narrow "peninsula" protruding into the Bay of Cádiz lends added charm to this ancient city. In actuality, Cádiz is on an island which is separated from the mainland by a larger island, the Isla de Léon; thus, to reach the mainland from Cádiz, it is necessary to cross a narrow channel to the low-lying Isla de Léon, before crossing another narrow channel to the mainland. This geographical circumstance has played, time and again, a significant part in the city's history, commerce, and culture. Isolated behind its high thick medieval walls on its improbable site in the middle of the bay, Cádiz, on approach from the sea, presents a dramatic and aesthetically appealing view.
