Costa de la Luz

The local gastronomy is based on high quality products from the area. Due to the town's geographical location at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, it is comprised of unbeatable flavours and textures, with its fruit, vegetables and seafood among the highlights (some are claimed to be the best in the world by various food critics, as is the case with the prawn and the 'concha fina').

Just in front of Hotel Agaró Chipiona you will find Regla Beach, which is a calm, family-friendly space with fine golden sands, fairly shallow waters and an extensive beach promenade. Despite being an Atlantic beach, the water temperature in summer is ideal, hovering between 20 and 24ºC. The classification in 2015-16 of this beach as a Blue Flag beach saw it win the "Q" four Tourist Quality Award due to its excellent services, which include toilets, telephones, showers, lifeguards, bins, a cleaning service, an access boardwalk, sunshade hire, jet ski hire, pedal boats and windsurfing options, among other features.

Some must-see places when you visit the area are Chipiona Lighthouse (the largest in Spain), Regla Shrine, the Muscatel Museum, the fishing port/marina, the Sea Museum and everything related to the artist Rocío Jurado. Natural Spaces In addition to extensive pine forests and a visitor centre, Hotel Agaró Chipiona is just a few kilometres from Doñana National Park, which is the largest ecological reserve in Europe.

Chipiona is located on the northwestern area of the Costa de la Luz (Cadiz) at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River between the towns of Sanlúcar de Barrameda and Rota. It has 19,000 inhabitants and economically it depends on tourism, supported by fishing, flower growing and agriculture. This town has four notable beaches: Cruz del Mar, Regla, El Camarón and Las Tres Piedras. At some of these beaches you will find fishing weirs, which have been declared monuments. They are closed, rocky formations created by man and said to be of Roman origin. They enable traditional fishing to be enjoyed.
