Travel guide with pictures and reviews for Novo Sancti Petri

Novo Sancti Petri, with a total size of almost 400 hectar, is situated next to the fantastic beach La Barrosa at the Costa de la Luz. It's part of the community of Chiclana de la Frontera, the old town at the end of the wine-route connecting all the sherry producing towns of the region. 

9km of beautiful beach right in the heart of Andalusia , with its Bodegas, Flamenco, the bulls and horses, the white villages and natural parks. The mild climate of this region makes Novo Sancti Petri an ideal travel destination for the entire family.  

Novo Sancti Petri is situated 25km south of Cadiz. Popular neighbouring towns are Conil de la Frontera, a little fishing town, and Vejer de la Frontera, one of the typical white villages.

This is definitely one of the holiday resorts of higher standard at the Costa de la Luz. Exclusive villas and chalets, as well as holiday apartments with large garden areas are surrouding a superb 36 hole golf course designed by Severiano Ballesteros.  Some great 4- and 5-star hotels can be found in the first line of the beach.

The building law avoids that buildings with more than 2 storeys could be constructed. That's why Novo Sancti Petri is not spoiled with huge and ugly concrete hotel blocks. 

In the center of Novo Sancti Petri a large shopping center with many little shops, bars and restaurants has opened up. But the nicest restaurants are situated along the beach promenade.

Novo Sancti Petri is connected with bike roads, so you can leave your car parked in the garage most of the time. Bikes can be rented here.
