Description
Located at a high height, embedded in a rock, around a rock, at the entrance to the Sierra de Segura, Chiclana is spread through the streets of the mountains, capricious corners and improvised squares, with the smell of the carnations and geraniums of its balconies and windows. It is accessed through a surprising tunnel that introduces us directly into the aura of its medieval mystery. This beautiful town, despite the historical avatars so negative to its heritage - such as the destructive retaliation of the Napoleonic troops, the fratricidal raging of the carlists, or the virulence of the hurricane that destroyed the church tower - retains the original Hispanic-Muslim structure of its urbanism, the medieval typology of its homes, and an unexpected architectural surprise, the buildings excavated in the stone, trogloditic wisdom that makes it possible to have houses with a uniform temperature throughout the year.
