Field notes
Andalusia's Atlantic-coast peninsula city — claimed-oldest in western Europe (3000+ years of continuous habitation). Same Spanish DNV (€2,650/mo, up to 3 years renewable). Schengen. La Viña and the Casco Antiguo are the dense walkable cores. The structural advantage over Seville is the Atlantic breeze — summers cap around 30°C rather than 40°C+. Roughly 20% cheaper than Seville. The Carnival (February) is the big municipal rhythm.
Atlantic exposure makes Cádiz materially milder than Seville — summers cap around 25–26°C rather than 38°C+. Wet winters (December–February, 3 mm/day average), reliable dry summers. The Levante and Poniente winds are the daily local weather rhythm. Best windows are the shoulders.
