The 300 days of sunshine a year, white beaches with fine sand and its good atmosphere, make Chipiona chosen by many travelers as one of the most important beach references in the province of Cádiz. To that if we add the rich gastronomy based on local products and its monumental heritage, I'm not telling you anything!!
But today I am not going to talk to you about beaches, or gastronomy... nor about the universal countrywoman Rocío Jurado. We are going to immerse ourselves in a little-known Chipiona, an authentic Chipiona. Today I am going to discover 7 alternative and genuine activities that you can do in Chipiona, one a week and that are available to anyone. are you coming with me?
1. RENT A BOAT OR WATER MOTORCYCLE
One of the coolest activities in Chipiona is to see it from the sea. The skyline that forms Chipiona from the sea is wonderful. For this you can rent a jet ski or a boat with or without a skipper. The Chipionera Triman Nautic company is a pioneer in this type of adventure at sea. Triman Nautic is in the Chipiona Marina, and is one of the best options to discover the secrets that the Chipion coast keeps.
2. THE GREENWAY BETWEEN RIVERS BY BICYCLE
The Greenway between rivers is a Nature Trail that runs along the old railway track that linked El Puerto de Santa María with Sanlúcar de Barrameda. It was called “El Tren de la Costa” and was built mainly to transport Sherry wine to the port, so that it could later be exported to England by sea. It is called the “Greenway between rivers” because it runs along the mouths of the rivers Guadalete, in Puerto de Santa María, and Guadalquivir, in Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
3. VISIT THE FRUIT AND VEGETABLE AUCTION OF THE RIVERA MARKET
The local product is booming throughout the region and beyond. Thousands of yellow boxes with the slogan “Sabor Chipiona” are stacked throughout the warehouse. This brand was patented by Mercado Rivera to promote and spread the products of the Chipionera orchard. Boxes with brightly colored vegetables and fruits waiting to be auctioned. It is a real visual pleasure to see the products freshly harvested by the farmers of Chipiona
4. VISIT TO THE FISHING CORRALES
The visit to the fishing corrals is one of the most authentic activities to learn how it works. The Chipiona fishing corrals are an ancient art of fishing inherited from father to son. They are artificial oyster stone structures that work with the tides. At high tide, the water covers the pens, leaving them completely flooded and the fish begin to enter. At low tide, the water goes down leaving the fish trapped, at this point is when the figure of the “cataor” comes into action, using a type of small net called tarraya. The Chipiona fishing corrals constitute a cultural and landscape heritage.
5. CLIMB THE HIGHEST LIGHTHOUSE IN SPAIN
Spotting the Chipiona Lighthouse from Las Canteras Beach or from the Regla Sanctuary is unique. It is a robust and slender lighthouse, anchored at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River. Its 69 meters high make the Chipiona Lighthouse the highest in Spain. It is the monument that represents Chipiona.
6. VISIT THE FRANCISCAN MUSEUM OF THE SANCTUARY OF REGLA
The Regla Monastery keeps many secrets within its walls. The museum is above all due to the most brilliant chapter in the life of Colegio de Regla, the missions. Father Lerchundi, the founder of the Colegio de Regla, came from the North of Morocco where he was appointed Apostolic Prefect. The founder’s goal was to convert the house into a College to train missionaries. These were then sent to the Holy Land or Morocco. In a few years the Community reached the number of about 90 religious.
7. WATCH A SUNSET AT LAS CANTERAS BEACH
There are times of the day when the light and everything around us becomes something special. Due to its geographical orientation, Las Canteras Beach is a perfect setting to end the day. The wide palette of colors that the sky offers us, merges with the water, rocks and sand, filling the sunsets with romance and peace. Second by second the stage changes color, culminating when the king star hides on the horizon.
