Medina´s geographic
location is privileged for discovering the province of Cádiz.
There are almost virgin fine white sand beaches within half
an hour drive (El Palmar, La Barrosa, Caños de Meca,
Zahara…) and any other of the province´s beaches
(Tarifa, Rota, Chipiona) can be reached in less than an hour.
Of course, with more than three hundred sunny days in the
year, good weather is almost guaranteed. If it is too cold
for swimming, just taking a walk or having something to drink
or eat looking towards the ocean is a good plan for anyone
on vacation.
The city of Cádiz, Arcos or Jerez,
with the sherry cellars and the Andalusian School of Equestrian
art, are some of the trips which can be taken near Medina.
Nature and landscape lovers should not miss the “Alcornocales” (Corkoak
woods) Natural Park, with some of the best preserved Mediterranean woods from
Andalucia, and Grazalema Natural Park, a limestone mountain range with one
of the rare pinsapos´ (Abies pinsapo) woods which remain in southern
Spain.
Driving through this region will give the visitor the opportunity of contemplating
the breeding farms of fighting bulls which surround Medina, with the majestic
sight of these noble beasts in their natural environment.
