One of the most stunning locations for the best photo opportunities. It's beautiful to visit in both summer and winter and I've been lucky enough to have access to the wedding hall overlooking the beach. A must to visit and one of the many beautiful places in chipiona

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
