The prosperous roman city "Baelo Claudia" was discovered here in 1917. You can walk through the ruins and read the story of this town. The roman empire decline, the frequent invasion from south and a flooding caused its end in the 3rd century.
For EU citizens, entrance is for free.

Although Bolonia is evenly famous for the roman ruins, I found its wild dune-beach really wonderful. On the far end of the beach the dunes climb on the hill giving a great view to you walking along the sea. Ok it could be quite windy but you're in costa de la luz! ;)

Ride to Bolonia - along a sandy beach or through the pine forest to the bay of Bolonia, a small fishing village and the famous archaelogical site of an ancient roman village. Here your horse can take a break and you can enjoy the excellent food offered in many of the small and typical seafood-restaurants.

A ride to the windmills - like mountain goats the horses climb up stony pathes to the hills top , where you are compensated for the effort by a breathtaking view over Tarifa and as far as Marroco. Enjoy nature over an original spanish picnic. About 4 hours.

There is a little (tiny) museum inside the archeological place where you can see some findings, aerial views and explanations about life in Bolonia in those days.
There is a new museum being built now (2004), much bigger, but horrible as it really ruins the wonderful landscape of ruins, dunes, sea and mountains :-((

You can visit a medium size theatre here. The presence of a theatre indicates a certain status of Baelo Claudia, as only important villages had one. You can't climb up the stairs, but you can have a good view of it from the scenery.

You can still see here clearly the paved streets with big flat stones, very well preserved in spite of the years.
There was a long roman "highway between Rome and Cadiz all along the coast in those days...

The forum was the core of the roman city. It was the main square where the religious and administrative buildings were, and a meeting point for the social main characters.

Bolonia is a tiny location (just a few houses indeed) in the south west coast of Spain, facing the Atlantic Ocean, not far from Gibraltar. As many of the neighbour beaches, this one is a white sand...
Where else you can go to the beach (an incredible sandy one with a massive dune), visit some roman ruins and have some fish sitting on a Chiringuito? Ok there are more places around the Mediterraneo...
This Roman city of Baelo Claudia was on the Atlanitic Ocean, between Gibraltar and Cadiz. It has been excavated, and there are beautiful columns Roman Baths and a amphitheatre.
