De Cadi Cadi

I was lucky to be born on Cádiz, one of the oldest cities of Western Europe. Our history has given it an unique personality and architecture, attracting more and more tourists every year. Touristification is now pushing out many neighbors from their houses and many have left the city entirely. These pictures are a tribute to my hometown, and a warning against the effects of mass tourism which extend beyond its walls.

Cádiz for its workers.

These pictures show the same lady, in the same market stand, with the same outfit, in 2019 and 2022.
Look at the prices to see inflation!

Official uniform for older women in Cadi, who liberate themselves from the pressure to dress up. Their choice: a fresh, light, colorful dress. No matter that it shows their varicose legs and their hands, wrecked from a life of housework. What matters is to be comfortable with oneself.

— the fight for a future — 

Less tourism, more industry. Cádiz for its workers.
