Places to visit
La Barrosa is an excellent destination to chill out on the beach for the duration of your holiday, or explore the local region, which has heaps on offer.
As it is fairly centrally located it’s an excellent base to visit the bohemian town of Tarifa, the capital of the province, Cadiz City and Jerez, the home of Sherry.
This region is famous for its ‘pueblos blancos’ (whitewashed villages); traditional villages, with Moorish and Medieval routes and architecture, where you can taste a bit of real Spain. The villages of Vejer, Arcos de la Frontera, Medina Sidonia are close by and recommended to visit.

Cuisine
The whole of the Cadiz region is acclaimed for its seafood and shellfish cuisine. You can eat excellent seafood on most menus in La Barrosa and Chiclana.
For a real treat, head to Cadiz for a day trip and then take the ferry over to Puerto de Santa Maria, where there is a superb restaurant called Romerijo. Here you can buy your own seafood from their pescadería (fish stall) and they will then cook it for you.

Climate
La Barrosa enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, with little rain and more than 3,000 hours of sun a year. The strong Levante and Poniente winds mean that it can sometimes feel cooler than it really is.
