Picturesque Towns

Chiclana is the economic hub of the area and although not the most picturesque town in Spain it does have a few things going for it. First, it has a very attractive beach area on the outskirts known as La Barrosa. Second, just a few minutes from the beach there are four 18 holes golf courses and in the other direction is the marina at Sancti Petri. And finally, it is where our offices are situated! So in between sunbathing, golfing and sailing come in and see our range of properties. Fancy a villa in Chiclana? A townhouse in Conil? A finca in Alcala? The chances are we can find the right property for you.

A short drive north takes you to Jerez, the home of Sherry and many bodegas where you can enjoy a guided tour and sample the product! Like many other towns and cities Jerez has big festivals, especially the May horse fair, perhaps the most refined of the Andalusian ferias.

A few miles to the south lies the charming old fishing village of Conil, with its huge sandy beach stretching

 

for miles either side of the town. This ideal family beach shelves gently to the Atlantic ocean, suprisingly calm considering the distance to the next landfall.

A few miles on from Conil lies Vejer de la Frontera, a classic, Moorish white town dramatically perched on a hillside overlooking the bay of Trafalgar. Virtually unchanged over the years a wander round its somewhat hilly streets will take you back in time to its Moorish roots.

Across the Bay of Cadiz lie the towns of Puerto de Santa Maria, Rota, Chipiona and Sanlucar. El Puerto is an attractive town with some beautiful old houses while the other three may lack some of the history of El Puerto but they all have great beaches.

Inland there are beautiful white villages like Arcos, Medina Sidonia, Alcala de los Gazules, etc. where you can combine village life with beautiful landscapes. The area offers a combination of great views, good walking country, very attractive property prices, and great potential for anyone thinking of setting up a rural tourism venture.
