Ceuta lies between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, between Europe and Africa. It offers sun and sea, exoticism and culture, along with an enviable climate. A walk through the city will take you past its squares and monuments, the wonderful Royal Walls with their saltwater fosse (unique in the world), the Merinidas Walls and the exotic Arab baths.
Because of its special taxation system, Ceuta offers the opportunity to purchase high quality items at excellent prices. If you love perfumes and jewelery, you will find an extensive selection here.
The nightlife in the bars and discos is as exotic as the city itself. The illumination of walls and monuments invites you to experience the warm Ceuta nights virtually year round.
The lovely city of Ceuta stands between two seas. And gazing out at them from a spectacular spot is the Parador, a modern building abutting the ancient Royal Walls, located in the center of the town. The vaults of the former artillery depot were erected on top of the walls. Today they have been converted into fantastic hotel suites. The Parador de Ceuta is a modern building surrounded by a garden of magnificent palm trees, with a swimming pool enveloped by the breeze from the sea just a few meters away. The building and décor reveal obvious Arab and Andalusian influences. You will love details such as the lamps and the bright guest rooms.
The Parador is located in the heart of the city, on Plaza de Nuestra Señora de África (Nuestra Señora de África Square).
The beautiful city of Ceuta is lapped by the waters of both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It is accessible by road, sea and air. The climate is Mediterranean, with mild winters and summers, making the city a pleasant place to visit virtually any time of year. If you’re not sure about the best time to plan your trip, you might want to consider the dates of some of the most important festivals. Carnival, Holy Week with the parade of the Spanish Legion, feast day of St. Anthony on June 13, feast day of the Virgin of Africa on August 5 and the accompanying weeklong festival.
