Chiclana de la Frontera

The municipality stretches along the Costa de la Luz with 6 kilometers of beaches, surrounded by vineyards, pine forests, and salt marshes.

Founded in 1303 by Alonso Pérez de Guzmán, the area contains ruins of an ancient temple dedicated to Hercules at Sancti Petri.

The town center follows traditional Andalusian architecture with narrow streets, courtyards filled with flowers, and numerous religious buildings from different periods.

Located 20 kilometers from Cádiz, the municipality offers extensive hotel accommodations, markets, restaurants, and direct access to La Barrosa beach.

Three defensive towers from different periods mark the coastline: Torre del Puerco, Torre Bermeja, and the 18th-century Torre del Reloj.
