Cadiz is the next stop on your trip to Andalusia and you’ll be there by car? This raises a crucial question: where can you find cheap parking in Cadiz?
Cádiz and its must-sees is a mythical stopover on a road-trip to Andalusia. Situated close to Seville and Malaga, this uniquely shaped seaside city is known to tourists for its superb cathedral, carnival and waterfront. Although much of the city can be visited on foot, you’ll probably need a car during your stay to reach other nearby cities such as Gibraltar.
So you’re probably wondering where to park in Cadiz. The city has a small historic center, so parking spaces are limited. To make your life easier, here are our tips for finding cheap parking in Cadiz.

Parking around Cadiz
Cádiz’s city center is very lively. It concentrates the city’s tourist attractions, some of its beaches, stores and much of its economic activity. That’s why it’s often hard to find a place there, especially on weekdays. You can try your luck, of course, but the outskirts of the city will often save you a considerable amount of time.
For example, you can park your car for free in San Fernando on the following streets:
From here, it’s a 15-minute journey to the center of Cadiz on the Cercanias Renfe urban rail network.
Street parking in Cadiz
In Cadiz, street parking is perfectly feasible. In fact, even if the number of spaces in the city center is fairly small, there are many less busy streets where you can park for free in Cadiz. Here are the streets where you can try your luck for parking in Cadiz:
- Avenida Juan Carlos I
- Calle Emiliio Castelar
- Avenida de la Illustración (median in front of Mercadona)
Some streets near the seafront have parking spaces on both sides of the road. However, parking time is often limited during the week (1-2 hours). If you want to visit in peace and quiet at the weekend, you’ll want to make the most of them. This can be a good alternative if you absolutely must find a parking space in Cadiz in the heart of the city.
