Lying on the coast in the west part of the province of Cádiz, is the pretty town of Chipiona. It sits at the mouth of the Guadalquivir river, only 52km from Cádiz, Chipiona dates back to Roman times.

In the 19th century, the town was a remote seafaring spa and today it is a popular resort for Spanish tourists.

Chipiona is also home to the tallest lighthouse in Spain, which was built in 1867 and stands at about 69 meters.
