LOCATION

Chiclana de la Frontera- Cadiz. Spain

Chiclana de la Frontera es un municipio español de la provincia de Cádiz, en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía. Forma parte del área metropolitana de la Bahía de Cádiz-Jerez, la tercera más poblada a nivel autonómico.

La fundación de la actual Chiclana se produjo en 1303, cuando el rey Fernando IV de Castilla entregó las tierras chiclaneras a la Casa de Medina Sidonia. No obstante, los restos arqueológicos encontrados en el Cerro del Castillo atestiguan que los fenicios fueron sus moradores y que la ciudad cuenta con 3000 años de historia y no 700 como se creía hasta fechas recientes.

Testimonio de que los fenicios entraron por el río Iro y que se fortificaron es el enclave arqueológico Nueva Gadeira, abierto al público desde noviembre de 2023 con visitas guiadas sobre el yacimiento y el origen de la ciudad.

El actual casco urbano se levanta durante el siglo xviii. En la guerra de la Independencia Española se produjo la batalla de Chiclana entre franceses y aliados anglo-españoles. Hoy en día la economía chiclanera depende de una industria moderna y del turismo, especialmente de las playas y de los campos de golf asentados fundamentalmente en el Novo Sancti Petri, urbanización que cuenta con el mayor número de plazas hoteleras en la provincia de Cádiz y en toda la Costa de la Luz.
