Geography of Cádiz

Cádiz faces the Atlantic at the south-western tip, with the Costa de la Luz, the Bay of Cádiz and the Strait of Gibraltar. Inland rise the Sierra de Grazalema —the rainiest spot in Spain— and Los Alcornocales park, the largest cork-oak forest in Europe. The climate is Mediterranean with a strong Atlantic influence and the characteristic Levante wind. That fierce wind sharply raises wildfire risk in the cork-oak and pine woods in summer. Fun fact: the city of Cádiz is one of the oldest in Western Europe.
