Chipiona Bay of Cadiz

[Kaste]

Does any one know if Chipiona has completed it's dredging. We are planning to visit late September and wondering if they are accepting visitors yet?

Hi ,

I'd be more worried about whether they've had their annual cockroach 'kill'!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

When we went there (a few years ago now) they'd just sprayed God knows what sort of bug killer everywhere to try and 'cure' a massive cockroach population explosion. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Everywhere you walked there were loads of the things dead or dying, and it was a bit like crunching eggshells. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It was a while ago so only (half) joking. We have never returned there though, mostly 'cos we thought it a pretty boring place.

Hope you enjoy it more. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Cheers Jerry

I cannot say for sure that they are open, but a month ago I visited Rota and Mazagon, the marinas on either side, also owned by the Junta de Andalucia, and there was no mention of Chipiona on their notice boards.
Ayamonte is still turning people away, as of today the dredger is still there.

The last I heard, which was about 2 months ago, they were still dredging.

You could 'phone them (956 37 38 44) or email (chipiona@eppa.es). Also, it possible to anchor in the river just beyond Bonzana.

Regards,

Stephen.

We stayed in there 18-20 of July no problems.
