Guided Historical Tour of the 1812 Constitution in Cádiz

Context The guided tour takes place in the historic district of Cádiz, a city that served as Spain’s capital during the Napoleonic invasion and the birthplace of the 1812 Constitution—one of Europe’s first liberal constitutions. The route passes through areas showcasing architecture from Phoenician times to the Baroque era, with cobbled streets that evoke centuries of political and social history.

The Experience Over approximately two hours, you’ll walk through iconic squares and streets such as Plaza de San Juan de Dios and the Barrio del Pópulo, visiting the Museo de las Cortes and the Monumento a Las Cortes. The guide provides detailed insights into the political and social context of the time, while the sea breeze carries the salty scent of the Atlantic, evoking the atmosphere of early 19th-century Cádiz.

For Whom This tour is ideal for travelers interested in Spanish history and culture, who enjoy urban walks with in-depth explanations. It requires normal mobility for walking on cobbled streets and uneven terrain, so it is not recommended for visitors with limited mobility.

Local Context Cádiz preserves its historical legacy through well-maintained monuments and museums, and the local community holds deep respect for 'La Pepa'—the 1812 Constitution. The traditional market at Plaza de Abastos offers a vibrant, authentic close to the tour, showcasing local flavors and daily life in the city.
