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

Historic Site of the week

Bomarsund

Bomarsund fortress and garrison was built in 1832-1854 by Russian Empire to defence Åland Islands against enemies. British and French fleet attacked against it during the Crimean War in 1854. After a week of fighting the British stormed the remaining fort. Anglo-French forces destroyed it totally after battle. In the Treaty of Paris 1856, the entire Åland Islands were demilitarized, which is a status that has been preserved until this day.

Nowadays there are some ruins left and fortress area is open for visitors.
