Alameda Apodaca Promenade, Cadiz
The Alameda Clara Campoamor (formerly Apodaca) and the Alameda Hermanas Carvia Bernal (formerly the Marqués de Comillas) is a landscaped promenade in the historic center of Cádiz, which runs parallel to the sea and the city wall from east to west. Its current regionalist-style design was carried out between 1926 and 1927 by the architect Juan Talavera y Heredia, made up of flower beds with extensive plant ornamentation that have their central space in the monument to the second Marquis of Comillas.
La Alameda is included within the Gardens of Cultural Interest located in Cádiz that were included in the General Catalog of Andalusian Historical Heritage in 2004.
The eastern part of the promenade received the name of Alameda Apodaca in 1856, in honor of the Cádiz admiral Juan José Ruiz de Apodaca y Eliza, while the western side was named after the Marquis of Comillas by Claudio López Bru, second Marquis of Comillas.
On November 29, 2021, they change their names to the current ones.
