Spanish to English: Tourism text - Cádiz, Spain General field: Other Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - Spanish Cádiz es la capital de la provincia de Cádiz, en Andalucía, España. Históricamente ha sido siempre la ciudad principal de la zona, aunque la limitación de espacio físico al ser una isla ha propiciado que a lo largo del siglo XX hayan ganado mayor peso las ciudades de su área metropolitana, destacando Jerez de la Frontera. Es también conocida popularmente como La Tacita de Plata
Se cree que Cádiz es la ciudad más antigua de Europa Occidental, ya que la fundaron mercaderes fenicios hace unos 3.000 años, como puesto comercial.
Se pueden encontrar restos arqueológicos en toda la ciudad, y los dos sarcófagos fenicios del Museo Arqueológico (Plaza de Mina) merecen ser visitados.

Translation - English Cádiz is the capital of the province of Cádiz, Andalucia, Spain. Historically, it has been the main city of the area, although the limited space available on the island has contributed to the rise of cities in its metropolitan area throughout the 20th century, especially Jerez de la Frontera. It is also commonly known as La Tacita de Plata (the silver cup).
Cádiz is believed to be the oldest city in Western Europe, founded by Phoenician merchants some 3,000 years ago as a trading post.
Archeological remains can be found throughout the city, and the two Phoenician sarcophagi in the Archeological Museum (Plaza de Mina) are worth a visit.
