You are allowed to photograph the interior, which is a novelty because it is usually forbidden in many religious buildings.

In the Plaza de San Juan de Dios, several buildings of interest stand out, such as the Municipality, the church of San Juan de Dios and the Casa de los Pazos Miranda. We loved seeing the activity in here, kids running around and playing, people strolling, just a nice cute cozy place in Cadiz.

However I would recommend you Not add the additional $Euro option for the Cathedral Tour unless you're willing to go according to their restrictive schedule (6 times a day) We were told upon purchase all we needed to do was show our receipt to enter the Cathedral. But when we got there at 2:10pm we were told we couldn't go in till 3pm. So we had to pay the $9Euro fee anyway because we had to be back on our ship by 4:30pm. Be careful! If I knew I would have only paid for the bus. I believe we were misled on purpose.

A couple routes from the Tourism Office's walking tours of the city lead you onto Paseo Campo del Sur, for at least a bit. The "Castillos" tour (yellow-orange line) provides an option to travel the whole length of Paseo Campo del Sur.
