Punta del Boquerón

Punta del Boquerón is a sandy cape on the Andalusian Atlantic coast, located at the southern end of the municipality of San Fernando, forming the southern shore of Camposoto beach, also known as Playa del Castillo. From Cádiz it's between 1 and 1.5 hours depending on the route you take. I took the longer way through the Sendero Tres Amigos - Rio Arillo.

Punta del Boquerón is an appropriate place for coastal hiking, due in part to the climate, which allows hiking throughout the year, and in part to the diversity of flora, both in the marshes and in the dune system, and fauna. There is a signposted path, which has a route of 2.5 kilometers, which begins at the last entrance to Camposoto Beach and ends at Punta del Boquerón, on a route parallel to the Caño de Sancti Petri and the dunes of the beach.

The point is flanked by the Atlantic Ocean, to the west, and by the Sancti Petri channel, the arm of the sea that separates the sandy tombolo formed by San Fernando and Cádiz from the Iberian Peninsula.

On October 7, 2003, the Andalusian Government declared the area as a natural monument.

It was a wonderful bike tour and if I would stay longer, I would do it once more.Read more
