Holiday in Chiclana

Cádiz hides unique spots, places full of magic where we can discover the authentic essence of this Andalusian province and let ourselves be impressed by its beauty and its delicious culture and cuisine.  Chiclana de la Frontera, one step away from the centre of San Fernando and very close to Puerto Real and to the city of Cádiz, is one of them. Everything converges here, from so impressive natural spots such as the marshes of Sancti Petri to the famous beaches in Roche, one of the most emblematic beach areas in Cádiz thanks to its quality, not much overcrowding and to the high degree of conservation of its natural richness.

Chiclana is synonymous with party, fried fish and folklore.  It is a perfect destination for knowing the authentic coast of Cádiz. You can easily access from almost any point of the peninsula and with complete services for the traveller: “Chiclana Suena” Concerts Festival in August, painting exhibitions, recitals, boat tours, theatre, children parties, golf tournament.

Golf: The entire Chiclana and, in general, the coast of Cádiz is one of the strategic points that all the golf lovers should include in their trip plan. Here we find the Novo Sancti Petro golf course, designed by Severiano Ballesteros, with 36 holes and wonderful views of La Barrosa beach. Next to it, we can also enjoy the golf courses Campano, La Estancia and Sancti Petri Hills… If possible, opt for staying in a golf hotel in Chiclana near to some of these courses: most of them offer interesting discounts and promotions, and help you to book your green fees.

Cuisine: It is one of the most varied cuisines in Andalusia, although the main elements are sea products, which are served with arroz “veraniego”  or delicious stews, among which stands outs the “merluza a la chiclanera”.   The stews and cold soups are served with a wide selection of snacks, specially prepared for pubs, inns and bullfighting clubs, always very lively.  The beach bars have their own cuisine and are a must visit for all those who go to Chiclana. If you have the possibility of choosing, opt for an Only Accommodation, Room and Breakfast or Half Board in your hotel in Chiclana, so you can enjoy the culinary offer of this area.
