From pretty plazas to beautiful beaches, the Spanish seaside town of Cadiz has a bit of everything – including a beach harbouring a hidden truth.
Duna de Bolonia is one of the largest sand dunes in Europe stretching to 30m high and 200m wide.
Situated right on this famous coastline are the lesser-known Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia.
According to BBC Travel, Duna de Bolonia is considered to be one of Spain's best-preserved Roman settlements, the site dates all the way back to the 2nd Century.
Despite its longstanding history, most tourists don't even know that they exist.
