This spacious townhouse is on San Andres Golf which is a 250 acre golfing estate, surrounded by fields and some ten minutes drive to the beautiful and endless beach yet within ten minutes both of the town of Chiclana and the pretty fishing village of Conil.
The nearest and very comprehensive local shopping area is 5 minutes by car at El Colorado with several country restaurants/ventas, small shops and supermarkets, chemist, petrol station, taxi rank, paper shop and centre for yoga and watercolour painting.
There is a large shopping mall at Bahia Sur just outside San Fernando by the new railway station with a Carrefour and Cortes Ingles. Both Chiclana and Conil have a wide range of shops, good restaurants, tapas bars, cake shops, an Abastos [farmers/fishermen] market, cinemas, theatres and museums.

This is a gated community with pool shared by 14 townhouses set in communal gardens. The front porch faces west north west and catches the evening sun. The second bedroom terrace faces in the same direction.
The large roof terrace, accessed by a spiral staircase from the master bedroom, has panoramic extensive views of the golf course and surrounding countryside. The master bedroom terrace faces east south east over the golf course and to the countryside beyond.
The large back covered porch leads off the lounge and on to the small back garden which is laid to lawn, edged with borders of flowers and shrubs. There is currently a circular table and four garden chairs on the back porch.
The neighbours are mostly spanish young professionals living in nearby cities and just coming for the weekend, holidays and ferias. Allocated parking space.
Golf
The property is situated on the 10 fairway near the ladies tee of Campano Golf (San Andres). Montecastillo (near Jerez) and Benalup are no more than 30 minutes drive. Novo Sancti Petri is about 10 minutes drive. There are a number of other courses within an hour's drive.
Coast/Beach
The nearest beach is at Lomo de Sancti Petri (10 minutes drive) which is a long expanse of beautiful sand with shallow, warm waters.
Going south this becomes Roche beach, after that several small coves which after Conil fishing port and small marina becomes Fontanilla beach (Conil town) with lifeguards and award winning beach restaurants and cafes. Great kite surfing.
From here you can see El Palmar beach (still only 15 mins from San Andres) which is a favourite for body surfers.
The Local Area
A choice of riding stables and tennis clubs, marinas and restaurants. Hiking through hidden valleys in the Alcornocales natural park, bird watching in the Donana natural park, a number of picturesque white villages and the more major towns of Cadiz or Jerez for day trips, Seville or Grazalema for a couple of days. Tarifa is an hour down the coast - past Trafalgar and the ruins of Baelo Claudio - from where Tangiers is only 40 minutes by high speed ferry.
During late spring and autumn most of the local villages and towns throughout Cadiz province hold their own feria which is normally a celebration of the local wine culture or bull fighting with a funfair, hospitality tents, judging of local farmers produce and an excuse to party.
LaLuz magazine and Vida Magazine - both aimed at the expat and holiday community - are ideal sources of local information with restaurant reviews, articles and othe sources of information; both usually available at the Campano Golf club house or the Los Faroles restaurant on San Andres. |
