Camping Playa Aguadulce

Set eight kilometres from the Bay of Cadiz seaside resort of Rota, Camping Playa Aguadulce is a place of sand, sea, watersports and spa days: La Ballena beach, Elba Costa Ballena beach and Thalasso Resort are all within a couple of kilometres. The small seaside town of Chipiona is about 11 kilometres from the site, to Rota's north-west. It's famed for its flowers as well as the Chipiona lighthouse, the biggest in Spain, the third biggest in Europe and the fifth largest in the world: tours are available and the hardy can climb the 344 steps to the lighthouse's top. Also worth a visit in town is Castle Chipiona, built in the 13th century and now the home of the Cadiz and the New World museum. Over 11 kilometres of sands are at Chipiona too, as well as a sailing school and moorings for hire at the port. The sherry-producing towns of Sanlucar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María are 13 and 17 kilometres away respectively; ancient Jerez de la Frontera (also a sherry-producing settlement and famed too for its flamenco dancing) is 30 kilometres away, and province capital Cadiz, its parks and its spectacular bay views, is within 45 kilometres.
