How safe is Cadiz for female travelers?

Solo travel

I came to Cadiz by bus from Malaga. From the station it is a 15 min walk to the centre. I stayed at an apartment, by myself, in the centre for 3 days. I am vegan and there are some very good options for lunch, snacks and diner. I loved hanging around at the beach and to just get lost in all the beautiful streets. I always felt very safe. I wish I could have stayed longer as the atmosphere was very nice.

Wonderful place for solo backpackers and digital nomads. Cadiz is a small port city on the southern coast of Spain. Beautiful architecture and right on the coast. Groceries are affordable and the local market Had some of the best mangoes I’ve had in my life! Very walkable and friendly people. There is a university in Cadiz as well so there’s plenty of young people and Erasmos students to meet. Nightlife is fun but not crazy like the larger Spanish cities. It is much easier/enjoyable if you speak some Spanish. Many do speak English but as in any country, native language is preferable.

I would say it's as safe as any small city. Of course, like anywhere else, you should be cautious when walking alone at night, but overall, I think it's a great destination for solo travelers. Most areas in the city are equally safe, but if you're going to the beach alone, just be a bit more careful so you don't get your things stolen. You can always ask someone nearby to keep an eye on your bag while you go for a swim. There aren’t pickpockets here, not even during carnival, but if you leave your stuff unattended at the beach for too long, there’s a chance someone might take it.

It's a very safe city. You can walk alone in the dark, although I wouldn't do it past 2 am. in streets without traffic. I've never been robbed or experienced any kind of sexual harassment. It's a quiet and safe city above all.
