Puntales. A neighborhood with a lot of history…

Abstract

Every corner of Cádiz is full of history and that is because our city is a relic, a sample ofthe passage of time. Knowing our history is being aware of where we come from and understanding where we are going. In this article we will go through the history of one of the most emblematic quarters of our city, Puntales. We will narrate through the history of our quarter, the importance that it has had in the historical process of our city, even of our country, and we will do it in a peculiar way, walking through its streets, which will guide us in this historical journey. For years it was a marginalised quarter, locked up and isolated from the rest of the city. Luckily today it is an open quarter with great potential for growth. Let´s start by recognizing the place and the value it had in the past and has nowadays.
