Some History :
Chipiona , town of the province of Cádiz situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, is a true outdoor spa . Nature in Chipiona is so generous that it can provide everything a person need to recover or even heal.
In fact the city can be proud of many cases of healing since ancient times. Is it because the black Virgin of Regla? Is it because of its beaches of healing waters with high iodine content?
Dr Tolosa latour
Chipiona waters are graced by a high iodine content which gives them a healing power known for over a hundred years ago. In the late nineteenth century various medical specialists, including Dr. Tolosa Latour, conducted a study of the Spanish beaches in order to establish the first sanatorium in Spain. The Regla beach was preferred and highlighted by “the quality of its waters and its air and the orientation relative to the wind.” Dr. Tolosa Latour founded there the first Maritime Spanish Sanitarium , Sanitarium Santa Clara in 1897 where many people were treated and cured affected by tuberculosis , rickets and other diseases. + Info
From ancient times, sea water and seaweeds have been known to have curative properties.
There are references in ancient Egyptian scrolls to the power of climate and the use of clays of the Nile Delta.
The ancient Greeks recommended using hot sea water in baths and in poultices as treatment for different pains.
It was during the Roman Empire when sea water was at its most popular, used in a wide variety of ways and applications, that fell into disuse during the Middle Ages. + Info
Seaweeds have a high content of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals (up to 30% of the volume). Compared with dairy products, seaweeds provide up to 10% more calcium and iron. In Eastern civilizations, the importance of seaweeds as food has been recognized and apart from being admired for their nutritional uses, they have also been recognized as being antibacterial, antiviral and may help prevent cancer. + Info
You can visit our “Fishing Corrals “. They form part of the original historical and cultural landscape that is the heritage of an ancient rural fishing culture, presumably Roman or Moorish. They are stone walls which stretch out to the sea from the coast in a semicircular shape handcrafted of “ostionera” stones handcrafted, distributed along our coast line. When the tides go out, the animals which are trapped within the walls can be caught by men wading on foot in the shallow waters. The stones are fixed by marine concretions, oysters and algae that act as natural cement.
The name and the location of the corrals is the following: Montijo’s Corrals, in the zone of the same name between Chipiona and Sanlúcar de Barrameda, those of La Longuera in El Muelle Beach, those of Trapillo, Cabito and Nuevo, in Las Canteras and those of Mariño, Canaleta , Chico and Hondo between Camarón and Las Tres Piedras Beaches.
