Car Hire Chiclana

Chiclana de la Frontera, in the province of Cadiz, is a typical Andalusian town in both style and tradition. Its heritage is preserved in the narrow streets and flower-filled courtyards, as well as through flamenco dancing and the processions that still feature prominently today.

The town holds a unique position at the south of Gaditanian Bay, where beautiful beaches backed by natural dunes and pine forests blend with salt marshes of high ecological value. Chiclana’s main attractions are the expansive beach at La Barrosa and the spa at Fuente Amarga, where visitors can immerse themselves in the medicinal waters of natural springs.

A stroll through the winding, narrow streets of the old quarter provides a visual treat of white, well-preserved houses interrupted occasionally by ancient monuments. The 18th century hermitage of Santa Ana, the church of Juan Bautista and the 13th century fortress of Sancti Petri imbue the old town with an atmospheric sense of days gone by.

Leisure options are abundant in Chiclana, and cover a wide range of interests and activities. Fuente Amarga’s excellent health spa is located one kilometre from the beach and offers a range of massage and hydro treatments. Additionally, the beach at La Barrosa offers ample opportunities for swimming and sunbathing.

Water sports are popular here, and windsurfers, canoes, sailboats and bikes can be hired in town. Additionally, there is also the opportunity for horseback riding along the sandy shores. Barrosa Tennis Club has a selection of twelve tennis courts, a swimming pool and a tennis school. The Sancti Petri Golf Club offers golfers a supreme playing environment on fairways lined with pine trees.

The region of Andalusia is filled with charming towns and breathtaking scenery. Pay a visit to Jerez, the capital of sherry production, also famous for its fine horses, flamenco and fiestas.

The nearby town of Ronda is divided by a plunging 90-metre river gorge. The two sides of the city are connected by an 18th century feat of engineering, the Ponte Nuevo Bridge. If you visit Ronda, be sure to check out the vibrant Sunday market.

The N-IV highway connects Madrid with the province of Cadiz. Buses and trains run regularly between Cadiz and the rest of Spain. Jerez Airport, 35kms away on the A4, is the closest airport to Chiclana.
