Located in the port city of Cadiz, Playa de La Cortadura is a two-and-a-half-mile long, wide, and beige colored beach that is situated in front of the Bay of Cadiz. Also known as Playa de La Cortadura Beach, Playa de La Cortadura has been awarded Blue Flag by the European Union. Playa de La Cortadura is on the south side of Puerta Tierra’s Old Town which is a well-known historic gateway in Cadiz that was built in 1732. Puerta Tierra’s Old Town features light-and-sound shows at night and motion videos showcasing the city’s Mayan heritage that are projected on its walls. Despite being close to such a popular tourist spot, Playa de La Cortadura is a quiet beach if you are looking to get away from the hustle of the city. Playa de La Cortadura is backed by sand dunes and runs along a promenade that features palm trees, souvenir shops, restaurants, bars, and other small shops.
