    The "Chiclana, Phoenician Roots" route follows a path that relives how the ancient Phoenicians traveled along the coast from the beaches of La Barrosa and Sancti Petri to the Castle Hill, the site of the origins of Chiclana's urban structures and home to the Nueva Gadeira | Archaeological Site Interpretive Center. Ten milestones have been erected along this route, each marked by a figure representing Melkart, patron god of sailors and traders, whose traces can be found in every corner.

      The god Melkart
      Melkart was an important deity from Tyre, the Phoenician form of the god Baal. Tyre was a Phoenician city-state (at the height of what is now Lebanon) In and around Chiclana de la Frontera there are 10 of these statues along a walking route of approximately 25 km
