Located in the Bay of C\u00e1diz, bathed in the Atlantic waters and surrounded by marshlands, Chiclana de la Frontera has become a major tourist centre. With its fine-sand beaches, golf courses, walking treks, gastronomy, natural areas, heritage, complete schedule of leisure and culture, and modern infrastructure, it is able to ensure that any traveller\u2019s visit is a memorable experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

La Barrosa and Sancti Petri, with their eight kilometres of white and soft-textured sandy beaches, clear, blue sea and a complete range of services, have attracted numerous prestigious awards. The beaches are surrounded by salt lakes and lush green pine forests, of high environmental value, all of which are worth a relaxed visit in the late afternoon, a time of the day which is also ideal for enjoying a romantic sunset on the Chiclana coast. Sunsets that are a true marvel of nature, with a radiant western sun slowly disappearing over the Sancti Petri islet, home to the famous Sancti Petri Castle. This magical setting, an emblematic signature stamp of Chiclana, has a rich and legendary history, but above all else it has been witness to the passing of several civilisations. One of most important sanctuaries of antiquity, the famous temple dedicated to Hercules (Melkart) is located in this area.<\/p>\n
