San Fernando

Population: 88073 people.

Area: 35 km².

San Fernando is a town in the province of Cádiz, Spain. It is home to more than 92,666 inhabitants. The city also uses the name "La Isla" (The Island), however, the city is no longer an island, but a peninsula, as it has been connected to the mainland. The people from San Fernando are locally known as "Cañaíllas" or "Isleños". In history, San Fernando played a paramount role when in 1810, owing to the French occupation led by Napoleon, it was (with Cádiz) the only part of Spain which did not surrender to the French occupation. National Courts met in the Comedy Theatre (nowadays known as the Real Teatro de las Cortes) and started the preparation for the first liberal constitution of Spain, which was approved in the neighbouring city of Cádiz in 1812. Flamenco singer Camarón de la Isla was born in San Fernando.
