WHAT TO DO IN THE AREA:
Spain loves its fiestas and festivals. Cadiz has a famous, colourful carnival and is just one of the many festivals around the region almost throughout all of February. Don't miss the massively popular Horse Fair in Jerez during the first week in May. The summer months see an array of "ferias" (carnivals) and parties. Chiclana holds it´s own ´Feria´in the month of June and is an occasion to be enjoyed by all the family. The Blue Flag awarded beach at La Barossa is host to all kinds of beach front entertainment in the balmy, summer evenings. There is something for everyone from puppet shows and live groups to displays of flamenco dancing and Spanish singers. Check the Spanish tourist website for further details. Take the opportunity to cross the straits of Gibraltar over to Tangier for a taste of Morocco. The nearest port from Chiclana is Tarifa, around 40 minutes drive. On the fast ferry you can be in Morocco within 35 minutes.
DON'T FORGET THE BEAUTIFUL SPANISH COUNTRYSIDE:
Andalusia is home to 21 natural parks. Along the coast and in the surrounding countryside, we have a spectacular and extraordinarily diverse terrain. There are many beautiful walks where you will encounter numerous villages and places to stop, relax and eat whilst out and about. If visiting in the low season, these walks are ideal as the temperatures are a lot kinder on the keen rambler. Bird watchers will be treated to seeing a wide variety of different species as this area is on one of the most widely used migratory routes. All sorts of migrating birds stop here to rest and feed. Flamingos can be seen in large flocks and we are also proud to be part of the protection scheme helping increase the numbers of White Storks. These large, graceful birds return to the Chiclana area to nest twice a year and can be seen balancing precariously in their nests on posts and in trees. This really is a sight not to be missed.
