Barrio de la Vina (Neighborhood of the Vine), Cadiz

The Neighborhood of the Vine is one of the city's most emblematic and vibrant neighborhoods. Originally a vine-growing area, it developed into a densely populated quarter in the 18th century, as trade with the Americas brought a surge of residents. Anchored by the fishing traditions of nearby La Caleta beach, La Viña soon became home to sailors, laborers, and the heartbeat of urban popular culture.

Its narrow streets, palm-lined squares, and balconied buildings now house flamenco clubs, buzzing tapas bars, and seafood restaurants famed for their freshness. Highlights include the Street of la Palma, the Baroque Church of Our Lady of la Palma, and the lively Pinto Square, affectionately known as the Square of Tio of la Tiza, in honor of carnival legend Antonio Rodríguez Martínez.
