Surrounding Area
Casa Feliz is ideally situated for a wondeful holiday. Shops, supermarkets, restaurants and everything else that you might require are all within easy reach and we are perfectly located for discovering this fascinating region.
Local bars and restaurants:
Within a 5 minute drive of the villa we are blessed with an abundance of bars and restaurants, serving everything from snacks and tapas to full cordon bleu meals and seafood is most definitely a speciality of the area.
There are 2 small Spanish bars within walking distance of the property. Both serve great value meals in the afternoons and one has a seperate dining room which serves evening meals.
There is a folder in the villa where we offer some suggestions for eating out and we always encourage guests to share their own favourites.
Shopping:
Novo Sancti Petri has a range of boutiques and designer shops and Chiclana is a traditional Spanish town. It has recently undergone some renovation work which has seen streets pedestrianised; buildings restored and underground car parking added making it a very pleasant place to visit.
The Bahia Sur shopping centre at San Fernando offers mall type shopping and has upmarket shops such as Zara and Mango and the large department store, El Corte Ingles. It can be reached in about 15-20 minutes by car.
Places of interest:
If you like to venture further afield, there are numerous towns and cities within easy reach:
Cadiz:
Explore the narrow cobbled streets and beautiful old squares, taken an open top bus tour to see the sights and monuments or climb Tavira Tower for the best view of the city and port.
Jerez:
Jerez is of course the home of the Sherry industry and a visit to a bodega with such familiar brand names as Crofts and Tio Pepe or Harveys (rounded off by a tasting session) makes for a pleasant afternoon.The Royal School of Equestrian Art is also based in Jerez and has frequent dressage shows and displays of the magnificent Andalucian horses.
Seville:
Seville is just 90 minutes drive from Casa Feliz and is well worth a visit. Arguably one of Spain's most beautiful cities. Take a horse and carriage trip around Seville's most famous sights. Marvel at the workmanship of the Plaza de Espana, visit the serene gardens of the Alcazar or the Catherdal and the Giralda.Stop for Tapas at one of the many bars and eat like the Spanish or enjoy a full meal in the historic Santa Cruz distric of the city.
If you'd rather not drive to Seville itself, direct trains are easily available from San Fernando (15 minutes away) and there is ample car parking close to the railway station
