CHICLANA - ATTRACTIONS


Ermita de Santa Ana

With its great copula visible from afar. The park in which it is located is a little difficult to get to and is not well kept so the Ermita is only worth visiting for the view over the town, the Milenium Bridge and the surrounding countryside.

Church of San Juan Bautista

In the center of the town, dates from the 18th century and was also designed by Torcuato Cayon, Convent and church of Jesus Nazareno.

Capilla del Santo Cristo

This small church, which dates from the 15th century, is situated in the upper area of town. Within its walls are several lovely statues dedicated to the Christ and Our Lady of `Guia` (Guide).

El Arquillo del Reloj

The 18th-century clock tower in Plaza Mayor (known locally as El Arquillo del Reloj), next to San Juan Bautista church, is also a popular local landmark - traffic passes into the square through an arch in its base.
Chiclana is famous for its dolls, which are made at the Fabrica Museo Muñecas Marin; this claims to be the oldest doll factory in Spain. There are also various wine bodegas, producing dry whites and muscatels, some of which offer tours and tastings.

The Balneario Fuenteamarga

Offers treatments for numerous circulatory, muscle and skin complaints, thanks to the therapeutic properties of its waters which include sulphates and calcium.

Ceramic Tiles in the Plaza del Socorro

There is an interesting visit to the puppet factory shows, where puppets are craftily dressed in typical Andalucian attire.
