Popular Traditions

Chipiona Carnival: The main carnival takes place in February. Chipiona is full of people from the neighbouring towns Cadiz and Seville. The carnival is said to be the best in the area and and boasts a magnificent cavalcade with colourful costumes that takes place in the old town. Chipiona was hardly touched by the famous Lisbon earthquake of 1755 and the town celebrated this fact with parades through the town. This tradition is continued to this day on the 1st November, every year.

On the first Sunday of June, the Romería del Pinar is celebrated in the Pinar de la Villa.

In July the procession of the Virgen del Carmen is a majestic marine procession through town.

In August the town´s fiesta announces the grape harvest and in September the Vigil of Nuestra Señora de Regla takes place on the beach where music and local wine are the main attractions.
