‘Helen Crisp and Jules Stewart capture the essence of this unique and ancient settlement, with just the right mix of facts, myths and insight. A joy to read, it moves through 3,000 years of history with elegance and pace. An engaging and thoroughly enjoyable book.’ -- <b>Jason Webster, author of <i>Duende</i> and <i>The Book of Duende</i></b> ‘An excellent introduction to Cádiz for discerning travellers who use tourism for education rather than destructive, whistle-stop, list-ticking European weekend breaks. Through the study of one city’s history, the reader gains a wealth of knowledge about Spanish history in general.’ -- <b>Helen Rodgers, co-author of <i>City of Illusions: A History of Granada</i></b>
