Bolonia Travel Guide

 juzz Says:  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! ;) 

 venteeocho Says:  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... 

 venteeocho Says:  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. 

 venteeocho Says:  Spend some time with the famous andalusian horses roaming the beautiful surroundings of Tarifa. Under professional guidance you can gallop through the ocean breakers or, like John Wayne, ride among cattle herds. Tours offered from 1 hour rides to 1 week tours - for beginers... 

 SirRichard Says:  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... 

 SirRichard Says:  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. 

 SirRichard Says:  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... 

 SirRichard Says:  At the beach shore there are a few little restaurants (chiringuitos) where you can have a nice meal (fixed menu or a la carte), some tapas or just a few beers. They are open only in summer I think. "Zanahorias aliñadas" (carrot salad with garlic and olive oil)Calamares... 

 SirRichard Says:  Climbing up the dune may take you 10-15 minutes. The sand is really hot up there, so U better take some beach sandals just in case... or climb it after sunset! 

 SirRichard Says:  If you plan to climb up the dune, put some sun protection first and wear a hat or so, is really hot up there and there is no shade around! 

 SirRichard Says:  At the north side of the beach (right) there is a HUGE dune that grows towards the pine woods, covering them and burying the trees under its growing inmensity. You can climb it up in about 10 minutes or so. From the top you can see the African Coast... 

 SirRichard Says:  The beach here is a wild white sandy one, which is hardly crowded, as is huge, so you can walk along it from the village if you want some isolation.
