• SUMMER. 15 chiringuitos to stay all summer

  • CHICLANA.The fashion destination in Cádiz this summer

As soon as it opened its doors, still with the "everything for the homeland" sign,

El Cuartel del Mar

became the sensation of summer 2020.

The place in Cádiz where to see and be seen

to give "everything for the beach".

After the first summer marked by the pandemic, the fever did not drop and this beach bar located in a former Civil Guard barracks continues to be

on the crest of the wave

.

It has just been chosen, on its first anniversary, as the

favorite of the users of the Repsol Guide

, the old Campsa Guide created in 1979 to propose car routes and places of interest to stop at. Just at the moment when this first

Azotea Grupo

project

in the south has an ephemeral replica in alliance with the González Byass wineries in Jerez.

"As our

claim

says

, we seek the uniqueness of places to celebrate life. We put all our strength and desire to try to create our canons and this award confirms that we have done well," explains happy José Manuel García, in charge of

Azotea Grupo

with his partner, the journalist Cristina Lasvignes.

The Cuartel del Mar heads the list of Soletes

, a new qualification in the guide that collects these places "with a special 'I don't know what' to relax and sink your feet in the sand."

In this case in Loma del Puerco, on the "infinite" beach of La Barrosa, a place where the business couple always spent their vacations.

"We have

a very special affection for the land that welcomes us every summer

and, when the opportunity arose, we did not think about it," they say.

Andalusia expects to receive nine million tourists, 51% more than last summer, so the outlook for this season is even more promising.

"This year we will have more freedom and desire to celebrate, while we will all be more aware, so we remain positive about the outlook."

Not surprisingly, the

special spaces are already a hallmark of

the

rooftop

kings

, with interesting projects such as Azotea Círculo, which marked a before and after in Gran Vía;

Picalagartos, also in the emblematic artery, Azotea Forus Barceló or

the recently opened Seville Justa Rufina

.

From this privileged enclave in La Barrosa, violet sunsets can be seen, birds and stars can be seen in front of the famous tower that makes the beach emblematic.

The

architecture studio More & Co

has merged the premises with the color of the sand.

"Keep giving us joys," says Paula Rosales, the architect of the most Instagrammed spiral staircase in the south.

The gastronomy is in charge of

Manuel Berganza, the Asturian chef trained in Bilbao

who fuses the local product with his know-how after tanning with chefs such as Sergi Arola, who was his teacher in La Broche and in his bistro Sergi Arola Gastro, as second of kitchen, and where they got two Michelin stars. El Poblet by Quique Dacosta in Denia (with three Michelin stars) and Alinea in Chicago by Grant Achatz (also with three Michelin stars). And his own concept of tapas on the Upper West Side in Manhattan and in Singapore the Spanish Tapas Club restaurants.

"I feel super happy for this recognition. Behind there is a lot of work and effort from the entire team, and without a doubt, this will be a push to continue improving. The secret is the purpose of

defending good gastronomy and service

in a place like the one El Cuartel del Mar is located, being a day-to-day job, pampering each client who has visited us, "slides the excited chef. The tuna tartare is the star, and is washed down with a comprehensive

signature

cocktail menu from

international

bartender

Luca Anastasio

.

In addition, temporary exhibitions and live or DJ concerts are frequently held, in a clear commitment to culture.

New life for an old completely abandoned barracks that the residents of Chiclana had not been able to take advantage of for decades and that has sown the seed for the growth of the group, which this summer also inaugurated in Cádiz

Los Jardines de El Cuartel del Mar, in the Bodegas González Byass

and coinciding with the celebration of the "Tío Pepe Festival".
