Text description provided by the architects. The project is part of the development of the winning proposal an international contest promoted by the Town Hall of Cadiz along with its Architects Association. The objective of the contest was to re-organize and urbanize the grounds of the esplanade of Santa Bárbara, which works as a fence to protect the Genovés Park against the sea. The exotic species of this park, of American origin, are declared protected heritage and require especial attention due to their close exposure to the sea. A high, masonry blank wall preserved them from rough weather and the ocean’s breeze.
