Charlie and Wynette: Cadiz is a coast/beach town (about 124,000 people) 60 miles south of Sevilla. It is on the south Atlantic coast of Spain. The train takes an hour and 45 minutes and makes 10 stops between Sevilla and Cadiz.
We have been lazy and leaving out the accent that should be over the “a” in “Cadiz”. It is pronounced CAH-deeth, with strong emphasis on the “CAH”.
We read that Cadiz is the oldest city in Western Europe and Columbus set sail from here on his second voyage to the Americas.
From the pronunciation you gave, I wonder if it’s related to Cardiff? Sounds pretty similar.

Hey Reeb, they do sound similar. Does Cardiff put the stress on the CAR?
