June 22 2022
Are you planning a visit to Cadiz? This province, so rich in natural and historical environments, has many perfect locations to visit, enjoying the views and the gastronomy. That is why from our Sancti Petri hotel, we introduce you to some of the most beautiful towns in Cádiz, perfect for making a route through the area.
Border Arches
Arcos de la Frontera is known for being located on top of a hill, next to the Guadalete River. Its location and its historical heritage make it one of the most picturesque towns in the province of Cádiz.
You will enjoy impressive views from the Mirador de la Peña de Berlanga, both of the municipality and its natural environment. In addition, you can walk the charming streets, with their white houses, and visit historical monuments such as the Palacio del Conde del Águila, the Castillo de Arcos or the Puerta de Matrera.
Setenil de las Bodegas
Located in the Sierra de Cádiz, this curious municipality is famous for being built on the rock itself, taking advantage of the spaces and the framework left by the Guadalporcún River throughout history.
The houses and premises adapt to the natural environment, giving rise to streets with different levels of height and even streets where you will literally be under a rock ledge. A visit to Cuevas del Sol street and Cuevas de la Sombra street is essential, as well as the Castle, the church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación and various hermitages.
Chiclana of the border
Chiclana de la Frontera is a municipality that brings together some of the most popular beaches in Andalusia and that will guarantee you a spectacular coastal environment. The Barrosa beach stands out, where ourILUNION Sancti Petri de Cádizhotel is located, with a blue flag and surrounded by various bars, beach bars, and all kinds of restaurants, but at the same time enjoying an environment surrounded by pine forests and large dunes with the Sancti Petri Castle in the background.
You will also find the beaches of Torre del Puerco and Sancti Petri, with a paradisiacal aspect and shallow waters, ideal to visit also during sunset if you do not feel like spending a day at the beach.
Zahara de la Sierra
Zahara de la Sierra is located in the Natural Park of Sierra de Grazalema, a beautiful charming town not only for its natural beauty, but also for its architecture and history, with a castle at the top and buildings such as the Church of Santa María de la Mesa or the chapel of San Juan de Letrán. It is part of the Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos and has several national awards for its beauty.
Olvera
Almost on the border with Seville is another of the towns belonging to the Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos, Olvera. Its Arab origins can be appreciated through its labyrinth-shaped streets and the Olvera Castle. You can also visit the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios and other churches, as well as other structures that remain from its Arab era.
