WELCOME TO La Plata

 El Palmar is our little piece of paradise on this earth, natural rural and gentle. It is hard to believe that there have been great historical moments lived in this near natural panorama.

 You can really feel the ancestral energy here.

The first Europeans arrived on this coast over 700.000 years ago, how they crossed the Straight of Gibraltar is yet a mystery. Perhaps they surfed, anyway what is sure is that they have been here some 686,000 years before ship building.

 Speaking of ship building, it was on this coast that the infamous Battle of Trafalgar took place whos name was taken from the cape in front of which the battle took place (where the lighthouse is at the southern end of el Palmar.) Name also given to London’s Trafalgar Square in honor of the British victory in the battle.

 There is a world of marine archeology in front of the light house with over 20 sunken ships in front of the light house that modern pirates are still sacking till this day!!!

Cadiz the cradle of western civilization is considered the oldest continually inhabited city in western Europe. The city was founded by the Phoenecians some 3600 years ago, it could probably be dated even older by the tartessean remains below those of the Phoenecians. Obviously 1+1=2.

 In any case as you walk in the streets of Cadiz you can feel the history, smell the aromas of the culinary wonders and be influenced by the genuine joy of the Gaditano people. (Gadir the Roman name for Cadiz.) The gaditanos are not only known for their joy but also for their light heartedness!

 We recommend that while in the old town of Cadiz you visit “la Caleta” the small port on the Atlantic side of the city, “La Catedral” the cathedral dating to the XVII C., and the old cathedral dating back to  the tenth century. The architecture of Cadiz is reflected in city of Havana, Cuba designed and built by the same architects therefore the “Malecón” in Havana is a worthy example of a little bit of old world Cadiz in the new world.

Other monumental nearby cities that are on a must see list (time Allowing) are Cordoba, Granada and Sevilla all very influential cities at one point of world history. Cities that to this day hold the splendor and Magic that once made them among the greatest cities of their time!

  These cities have an infinitive number of monuments, spectacles, museums and activities that you should not miss. We can give you first-hand information on these cities and many others. Truely these cities are an amazing spectacle for your senses.
