Playa de la Barrosa, Sandy beach in Chiclana de la Frontera, Spain
The 6-kilometer stretch of golden sand extends along the coast of Cadiz Province, bordered by Mediterranean waters and natural rock formations.
In 1811, British and Spanish forces clashed with French troops during the Battle of Barrosa, marking a significant event in the Spanish War of Independence.
Local musicians, including Paco de Lucía and Isaac Albéniz, created compositions inspired by the beach and its ancient watchtowers Torre Bermeja and Torre del Puerco.
The beach offers multiple access points with parking facilities, restrooms, showers, and numerous beachfront restaurants serving fresh seafood and local specialties.
Two defensive watchtowers from different historical periods stand at opposite ends of the beach, serving as navigation landmarks for centuries.
