What´s happening in Chiclana?
You can’t have failed to notice there’s a lot going on in our town at the moment: the riverside improvements, the new bus station, the outlook tower, all funded by grants from the EU.
These are only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, for there are a grand total of 19 ongoing projects including a new cultural centre planned for 2025.
The tower, la Torre Mirador del Cerro del Castillo, is possibly the most exciting of these, because it leads to the new museum situated at the top of the hill behind the Church of San Bautista. This Centro de Interpretacion provides a link with Chiclana’s ancient past from 3000 years ago – the Phoenician settlement, of which there are excavated remains adjacent to the new museum.
Once the new lift tower has been inaugurated, you will be able to access all this from the Avenida de Los Reyes Catolicos, but in the meantime, you can approach it from Plaza Mayor, by walking up to the back of the church.
