Cadiz and Huelva

Any recommendation of one over the other? We will making our way north from Tarifa and looking for a city to stop in on our way to Seville. I understand that Huelva is a walled city - is that correct? Thanks!

I've never been to Cadiz or Huelva, but I liked Ronda a lot. Very picturesque setting at the top of a ravine. It retains some of its medieval walls. Your path also takes you not far from Arcos de la Frontera. It looks as if either of those cities would also be a possibility.

I was curious about Huelva and Googled "Huelva walls". I think it's a town in Huelva Province that is walled, Niebla.

I do not see Huelva as on the way to Seville, neither am I aware of any walls. It is industrialised.
Cadiz is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in western Europe.
So if this is simply a vote, obviously Cadiz, plenty of info. available in your guide book or with a google.

Thank you Neil and ACRAVEN

I looked up Niebla - Great suggestion!
Ronda is on the list before Tarifa, since we will be in Granada and Cordoba for the early portion of the trip.
Good to know that you enjoyed it. :-)
And the Arcos de la Frontera was a possibility after Tarifa, so I will look at that a little more closely.

Thanks again - your collective expertise is much appreciated :-)
