Biking Coastal Chiclana — Small Group Tour

Cadiz Pedals Parks

Get a glimpse of Spain’s natural wonders by biking through Chiclana in a small group, then sample a regional delight.

Enjoy a 45-minute drive to Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park, home to flamingos and other vibrant bird and sea species. Cycle past ancient salt mines to the village (plus castle) of Sancti Petri. Founded by the Phoenicians, the town was the epicenter for tuna fishing up until the 1970s. After your ride, it’s time to taste. Caught using an ancient technique known as Almadraba — which has changed very little over millennia — you’ll get to sample some flavorful tuna before saying goodbye to Chiclana.
