Cadiz lives between the sea and the song. Beneath fluttering balconies and along golden stone streets, the city pulses with carnival spirit, old legends, and the endless rhythm of the Atlantic. Somewhere among its hidden plazas and salt-worn corners wanders Paco Alba, the beloved poet of Cádiz Carnival. For years, his coplas gave the city its voice. But now, the song closest to his heart has disappeared, and without it, the carnival feels strangely silent. Walk beside Paco through lively markets, ancient fortresses, and breezy seaside promenades as he retraces the memories hidden within Cadiz itself. Every stop reveals another secret buried beneath laughter, music, and ocean wind. The city begins to feel alive, almost as though it remembers the missing copla better than the man who wrote it. With every clue uncovered, Paco edges closer to the song that once carried the soul of an entire carnival. At the edge of the sea, where waves crash against the shore and gulls circle overhead, the truth finally emerges. Paco's copla was never truly gone. Cadiz had been protecting it all along, hidden within the sound of the surf and the heartbeat of the city. Not just a game. A city. A secret. A story only you can finish.
