Lepe, Coastal municipality in southwestern Andalusia, Spain
Located near the Portuguese border, Lepe extends along the Atlantic coastline with beaches, agricultural fields, and natural wetlands at the confluence of Piedras River.
The region transformed from Arab rule to Christian control in the 14th century when Doña María Coronel purchased the territory from the Knights Templar.
The Parish Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, constructed in Mudéjar style, houses the revered Virgen de la Bella statue, centerpiece of May pilgrimages.
The municipality connects to major cities through the Quinto Centenario Highway, with Seville Airport 140 kilometers east and Faro Airport 80 kilometers west.
Rodrigo de Triana, from Lepe, earned recognition as the first European to spot American land during Christopher Columbus's initial voyage.
