Playa de la Barrosa

Playa de la Barrosa is a 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) long beach in the municipality of Chiclana de la Frontera, Province of Cádiz, Spain.[1] It was the site of the Battle of Barrosa in 1811. It is separated from the Playa de Sancti Petri by a cliff. The resort of Novo Sancti Petri lies at the south end of Playa de la Barrosa and contains a defensive tower structure called Torre Bermeja. Several pieces of music have been composed about the beach including Isaac Albéniz's Torre Bermeja and Paco de Lucía's La Barrosa.
