Spending the summer in Chiclana has something that is hard to explain until you live it: a house with a private pool where the day begins with a dip and ends with a sunset, and the sea waiting just ten minutes from your door. That is how July slipped by at the refuge, and that is how we want your getaway along the Costa de la Luz to be too.
July at the refuge: pool, barbecues and sunsets
The month we leave behind was exactly what you picture of a good Andalusian summer: dips at any hour, barbecues lit as the evening falls, serious naps in the shade and sunsets you never forget. The private pool sets the pace of the day, with no timetables or shifts, just you and yours enjoying the water at your own rhythm.
When the sun eases off, the porch becomes the heart of the house. It is where the barbecue is prepared, the table is set and the after-meal chat stretches on without hurry. Summer is savoured slowly, and at the refuge there is plenty of room for every moment to have its place.
The beach, ten minutes from your door
One of the great advantages of a summer in Chiclana is how close the sea is. From the refuge you have three beaches within reach: La Barrosa, with its miles of fine sand; Sancti Petri, with its seafaring atmosphere and its castle facing the coast; and the Loma del Puerco, quieter and perfect for switching off. You step out of the water and in a quarter of an hour you are back in your pool.
That combination is what makes this part of Cádiz so special: you can have a morning at the beach and an afternoon by the pool on the same day, without giving anything up. There is no need to choose between the sea and the house, because you have both at once.
Chiclana and Novo Sancti Petri in a single getaway
The refuge sits between Chiclana de la Frontera and Novo Sancti Petri, two sides of the same Cádiz coast. Chiclana brings the atmosphere of an Andalusian town, its taverns and its calm; Novo Sancti Petri adds seaside walks, golf courses and sunsets over the Atlantic. A summer in Chiclana lets you move between both worlds in complete comfort.
Things to do during your summer in Chiclana
If you are looking for ideas to fill your days, these are some of the things that work best during the summer from the refuge:
- Mornings at the beach in La Barrosa, Sancti Petri or the Loma del Puerco, each one with its own character.
- Afternoons by the pool at home, with the shade of the porch close by for when the heat sets in.
- Barbecues at sunset, the star plan of any summer night in the area.
- Walks through Chiclana and Novo Sancti Petri, to discover their corners without driving too far.
- Sunsets over the sea, an end to the day that on its own justifies the getaway.
The best part of all is that you can combine them however you like: a summer in Chiclana does not come with a fixed script, and the refuge gives you the perfect base to improvise each day.
