renroc13 Posted March 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2016 We are planning to go on the Hop on Hop off bus during the day in Cadiz. Does anyone know if the fish market on Plaza Libertad is close to any of the historic sites. Would not want to miss a trip to the market... Thank You Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkto Posted March 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Stop #7 (near Cathedral) will be the closest, about 5 min http://www.city-sightseeing.com/documents/tours/1379.pdf Walk from port may be 10 min. Note that HO-HO goes on the perimeter of old city. One of reasons that streets are too narrow for big bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecuador Posted April 3, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The old city is very compact and you can easily cover the main attractions on foot. As hkto states the HOHO bus does not go into the centre and you will see a lot more on foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campolady Posted April 3, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Cadiz is the only port we have visited where we regretted using the HOHO bus - a somewhat boring/overpriced journey with most of the time spent travelling back and forth along the same stretch of seafront. Cadiz old city is fascinating and very pedestrian friendly/close to the port with streets not accessible by bus.

Islandgirl4242 Posted April 4, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Thanks for all of the replies! We are planning ports for our Oct. '16 cruise and thought the HOHO would be the way to best see Cadiz. You saved us some $$ as we'll now be walking since we most want to explore the old city. ~~Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopperwhite Posted April 4, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Is the centra le mercado the same as the fish market? Since I don't walk well I will need to take a cab there and back. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkto Posted April 4, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Yes here is; some info http://andhereweare.net/2015/07/a-visit-to-cadiz-central-market.html/ IMO there are better central markets in Spain (Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia to name some) than in Cadiz but its still worth visiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Manus we saw some type of fresh water fish that was over 10 feet long :eek:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaga too has a great indoor market - with all 3 markets (meat, fish, fruit and veg) in the same building so easier for people with walking difficulties.

shopperwhite Posted April 6, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Thanks for the info. In malaga is it far from the pier.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campolady Posted April 6, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the info. In malaga is it far from the pier.? In Malaga you can walk to the market hall from the cruise terminal building (some ships dock nearer) in 20 minutes. Personally I would take the shuttle bus from the port terminal to the park (costs just 3 euros) from where it is only a 5 minutes walk to the market hall. The market hall is fqascinating with a beautiful Art Nouveau stained glass window only discovered during renovation work about 5 years ago. http://www.spain-holiday.com/blog/atarazanas-malagas-central-market.php Edited April 6, 2016 by campolady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopperwhite Posted April 6, 2016 #13 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Your pictures are gorgeous. I will go to the one in malaga as well Thank you for your help. Someone said there is a restaurant called coppa which is on the beach and has free snacks and Internet I looked it up on Google but found nothing. Do you know of it? Again thank you.

Cornishpastyman1 Posted April 6, 2016 #14 Share Posted April 6, 2016 From around 1.09-2.10 in this. I had never seen such a big fish market, and as there are several similar along the coast I wonder how so much fish can ever be sold, but obviously it all does.
