La Barrosa beach stretches along eight kilometers of fine sand, from the little island of Sancti-Petri to the tower of El Puerco.

   The first stretch of La Barrosa is a built-up area, with a promenade provided with all type of services and touristic equipments: bars, restaurants, a comercial centre, etc; in a second stretch, starting in the urbanization called “Complejo Atlántico”, La Barrosa is a wild beach.

   La Barrosa enjoys the Blue Flag for the Clean Beaches of Europe since this reward was created. This beautiful beach is considered one of the best in the Andalusian coast, due to its fine and clean sand, the clearness of its water and the beautiful dunes and cliffs that characterize its wild area.

   In the wild area is the urbanization called “ Novo Sancti-Petri”, a touristic and sports  complex with four-stars hotels, golf and riding clubs, a commercial centre, etc.

   The beach of Sancti-Petri is two kilometers long and is situated opposite the little island of the same name.

  Next to this beach is the area of Sancti Petri, which has a pleasure harbour and fishing ports, a yatch club, sailing and windsurfing schools, a dry dock. an infirmary and a ferry service for sea excursions.

  The village of Sancti Petri is now abandoned, but it was the home of a colony of fishermen. It is not common to visit an abandoned village, that is why it has a special charm to walk through the streets, imagining how it was in the past. Some buildings can be still distinguished, as the school, the Town Hall, the cinema, etc. You should not miss this walk,
