LEPE BOOK

2

PATRIMONY Lepe counted in other times with a rich artistic

patrimony, but by natural circumstances like the great

earthquake of Lisbon of 1755, and human like the war of

Independence, it lost part of this one. At the present

time, they deserve to be visited personal and immovable

property that conforms their historical patrimony and that

we detailed next: 1.- Parish Church Santo Domingo de Guzmán

2.- Chapel of San Cristobal

3.- The Tower of Catalan

4.- Ajimez

5.- Enclosure of the Beautiful.

Parish church Santo Domingo de Guzmán

Historical-artistic

monument by Real

Decree 83/1985 was

declared. Although the

exact date of its

construction is not

known, is thought that it

was founded at the

beginning of century XVI

by Doña Teresa de

Guzmán, Duchess of

Béjar, for penance.

Probably outside construe

3

of century XIV.

Of its original factory, of style to mudéjar,

described as church of arches with bishop, as soon as they

are left rest as a result of the different restorations that

have suffered. Belfry, destroyed by the earthquake of

Lisbon, was constructed in 1799 following predominant

the architectonic canons but always considering the

tendencies of our masterful local master builders.

Its austere main facade correctly combines the

baroque one with mudéjar, whereas their other two

facades are characterized by the simplicity of their lines.

The church, with its three ships of rectangular plant,

follows liturgical the inclination traditional west-this. The

central ship, of greater height and width than the lateral

ones, is hopeless with apse of flat head.

The covers offer solutions that are everything a

catalogue of medieval tardy and modern architecture,

emphasizing the geometric reasons that they follow the

models of the under-Renaissance The present

sacramental chapel is dedicated to the virgin of the

Beautiful one, pattern of Lepe.

Its altarpiece, destroyed during the civil war, came

from the old “franciscano” convent, located in the

environs of the Lump.

Of him the “salomónicas” columns have been

only conserved that frame the central arc and the dressing

room of Rococo style. In the lateral streets they appear

individual niches with sculptures of the Sacred Heart of

Jesus and San Roque, pattern of the city, this one last one

dated around 1600.

4

It deserves to emphasize the magnificent sedente

image of the virgin of the Beautiful one, catalogue

policromada sculpture as Fernandez builds of the circle of

Jorge Alemán, of principles of century XVI.

We were before a iconográfica variety little

frequents, since one is an own eucarística efigie only of

Spain and the French noon, that represents a tabernacle in

the chest alluding the months that Maria took to Jesus in

the sine. It was the titular image of the missing

franciscano convent.

Cloth has to mention also of relief which it

reproduces the calvario, whose iconography has ample

medieval resonances and a linen cloth of the Immaculate

one of the Arpino horseman, of towards 1600. The

altarpiece of the greater altar, of end of century XVII,

coming from the missing convent of the Mercy, is of

policromada wood of a body with three streets. In its

interior they appear the sculptures of Santo Domingo, of

century XVI, San Juan Evangelista, of second half of the

XV, and San Cayetano, of the XVIII.

Of great beauty they are the images of the Mercy,

Sevillian anonymous work of century XVII; the Boy

Jesus, of the circle of Mountain Martinez, both coming

from the convent of the Mercy; the Hope of the XVII and

the Christ of the Sea, anonymous work of the first third of

century XVI, and to title of its chapel, located in the

quarter of Don Ramiro.

It emphasizes in addition by its value the rich one

of ajuar liturgical, with under-Renaissance pieces of

century XVI.

5

. Chapel of San Cristóbal

In a crossroad between Ayamonte and Seville, the

hermitage of San Cristóbal had to be raised from century

XV - in their interior have been some currencies coined

in the days of Kings Católicos- like one of the points of

forced prayer to those who happened through Lepe.

This hermitage is at the moment in rehabilitation

process to act the interesting as of point of contact of the

culture - exhibition hall and conferences and

unquestionably like an emblematic place to present to

those who visit to us.

Due to the long to live of mudéjar in these earths,

this construction is included within this architectonic

style, always with the contribution of the masterful local

master builders.

The earthquake of Lisbon caused damage in its

primitive factory; of this one the ship with cross-sectional

arc and the greater chapel with side eight vaults are

conserved. Their simple cover, of great popular flavour,

is possibly consequence of the reforms undertaken after

the mentioned earthquake.

6

Tower of the

Catalan

Tower of almenara

constructed within

the defensive plan of

Felipe II to protect

the coast of the

attacks Turk-

berberiscos.

Although the exact

date of its

construction is not

known, this one

locates at the end of

century XVI or principles of the XVII.

One is located on one of the mount millenarians

who border the line of the coast, to average distance

between the beach of the Antilla and the port of the

Lump.

From her a spectacular Vista of the Natural Place

can be admired Salt marshes of Stones and Arrow of New

Shade and be known history and elements the landscape

in the interpretation point of the installed coast in its base.

7

Ajimez

It has been declared like good of

cultural interest in 1985 by the Spanish

State and in 1995 by the Meeting of

Andalusia.

This architectonic element is a

clear example of the height that the

architecture to mudéjar had in the

province of Huelva from second half of

century XIV to centuries XV and XVI.

One is a window divided by window on which

they unload two twin arcs.

. Enclosure of the Beautiful one

It is worth the trouble to emphasize

those places in where the nature

becomes art, like the location of the

old “franciscano” convent, at the

moment enclosure where pilgrimage

of the virgin of the Beautiful one is

celebrated, like in memory of those

old peregrinations of long ago which

the neighbours made to this idyllic place to say their

virgin and to participate in their popular fair.

In the public decoration undertaken recently we

must emphasize the monument to the sailor and park V

Centenary, with interesting sculptural pieces of the

“lepera”1 artist Francisca Abreu.

8

1: Born in Lepe

In the same way, it is possible to emphasize the

park of the Coronation, in which one is located the

monument to illustrious the metallurgical lepero Alvaro

Alonso Barba, builds of architect lepera Rose Maria

García, who reproduces a smelting furnace, or the most

recent monument to the Agriculturist of the leperos artists

Jose Manuel Martinez and Francisco Sanchez.

Environment 1.- Natural Places

5.- Beaches

Natural places The municipal term of Lepe, on an extension of

12,478 hectares, counts on privileged natural

surroundings thanks to the smooth temperatures,

moderate precipitations, the smooth absence of frosts,

winds, etc., everything a set of climatic conditions that it

invites to the development of any type of activity.

Its proximity to the coast, a splendid sun and his

more than 24 km. of coast, they do of this place the

suitable one for the traditional tourist.

If to the exposed thing previously we added the

set of natural wealth that offers east municipality like

urban parks, natural places, dead grounds, centres of

environmental interpretation, footpaths, etc., we have in

addition to the suitable place for the sun-beach tourist,

9

perfect surroundings for all those plaintiffs of new

possibilities of leisure, for a direct bonding with the

nature and to deepen and to value our work in the

protection and conservation of the ecosystems.

Natural place Salt marshes of the River Piedras

and Flecha de Shady Nueva This space was declared like so in 1989. It is third

in extension of the province of Huelva, with a surface of

2,530 hectares. Its altitude on the level of the sea

oscillates between 0 and 10 meters.

It emphasizes in this place, by its singularity, the

arrow of New Shade (also well-known like arrow of the

Rompido), a sandy formation that advances compares to

the coast and that at the moment reaches a length of

almost 18 km. Its origin, for more than 200 years, has

had to the contribution of materials of the Piedras River,

to the mareal flow and prevailing winds of the southwest.

It has an annual growth of approximately 40 meters. This

formation, unique in all national coast, is considered like

a morphology geology jewel.

If we showed ourselves to this arrow we can discover

around 18 km. of white

sands and blue the

intense one of the sea,

virgin beaches

considered of the best

one conserved of salt

marsh Europe, as well as

landscapes, estuaries,

10

systems of dunes and a rich flora and fauna; everything a

set of natural wealth that make of this surroundings the

suitable place for lovers of the nature, being object of

students and investigators. This surroundings

characterize in addition by its extraordinary wealth in

amount and diversity to species, as much of flora as of

fauna, some of which are in extinction danger, finding

here their natural refuges by the benignancy of their

climate and the good state of conservation of their humid

zones, which turns it the zone of the municipality with

greater ecological value, reason by which has been

deserving to be incorporated to the network of dead

grounds of Andalusia.

The beaches and dunes serve as place of nest

building for “chorlitejo” “patinegro”, the gull, the gannet,

“pagaza” “piquirroja” and “alcaraván”, besides to contain

some colonies of “charrancitos”2

and basket makers. The salt

marshes are the place of refuge for

the fishing eagle, diverse

“limícolas” species,

“vuelvepiedras”, the common

“zarapito”3, etc. Between the

reptiles, the chameleon is the most

emblematic species, since in

Europe its area of distribution is

restricted to the provinces of

Malaga, Cadiz, Huelva and

Portuguese Algarve. In the same

way, while in dunes the vegetation

11

is “sabulícola”, own of not consolidated sandy grounds,

emphasizing the caterpillar of sea, “junquillo”2 and “loto

silverplated”, among others; in the salt marshes he is

“halófila”, adapted to saline means, and in her the

“almajos”, the “espartina”, “verdolaga” marine, the

“limonastrum”, the “limonium” and “brezo”3 of sea

predominate.

2: birds species; 3: plants species

Coastal pine groves Throughout the coastal

strip a beautiful forest of pines

and aromatic shrubs is raised, that

constitutes surroundings of great

natural and landscaping value,

where shelter species animals in

extinction danger, as it is the case

of the chameleon.

The advantage of these

places is recreational and

commercial.

12

Parks In addition to these spaces recognized by the

environmental legislation environmental, in our

municipality others created by the City council for the use

exist and enjoys all the citizens.

Park of the Coronation

It was constructed in the occasion

of the canonical coronation of the patron

of the city, the Beautiful virgin. In

this green space the monument can be

observed Alvaro Alonso Barba,

work, the Art of Metals, supposed a

considerable advance in the field of the

metallurgy. Also we can enjoy numerous

representative species of flora of the independent

community of Andalusia.

Park V Centenary One is located in the North entrance of Lepe,

where we can observe the sculptural set elaborated by the

lepera 1 artist, Francisca Abreu, like tribute to the sailors

of the city which they participated in the discovery of

America and, in special, to Rodrigo Perez de Acevedo or

Rodrigo de Triana, neighbour of Lepe and first sailor

13

whom earth accompanying to Columbus in the expedition

sighted.

Park of the station botanical Garden It is located in the old layout of the railway line

that united Gibraleón and Ayamonte.

Of layout rectangular with numerous parterres that

follows one another and in that we can observe multitude

of species of the flora of our province.

In its layout one is installed the monument the

Agriculturist, builds of the local artists Francisco Cabet

and Jose Manuel Martinez, who pays tribute to the

leperos men and women by their entailment and historical

dedication to the field and agriculture.

Coastal park

A conserved system to dune

place composes this

magnificent park located in

the beach of Islantilla, to

which we can accede through

marine stroll and that borders all coast with impressive

views to the sea.

14

Park of the Cabezos 4 One extends by a zone of cabezos bordering to the golf

course of Islantilla. It is a suitable place to walk between

pines and oaks, while it is enjoyed magnificent views of

beaches of the Antilla and Islantilla. In their passage flora

species of and fauna of the zone, as well as magnificent

formation geologic of precipices can be contemplated to

beautiful that almost constitute small grottos of pink

colour.

The park of the Cabezos, with almost 4 km. of

route, he is ideal for the practice of sports like the to walk

of path, to get on a bicycle, march… in contact with the

nature and the practice of golf.

4: Something similar mount.

Meadow of the Cork oak grove It almost constitutes the last rest of cork oaks of

the western sector of the coast of Huelva, mixing itself

with “acebuches” and “palmitos” that provide the idea to

us of the character “termófilo” and of its cattle use.

Between the fauna of the place they deserve to be

outstanding the abundant “rabilargos” (birds).

Park of the Corchuelo Recovery of a zone of public dominion where an

old “drinking trough” exists and creation of a recreational

area.

15

This footpath

Coastal green footpath It is a footpath of something more than 10 km,

constituted by several public pathways. It begins in the

Antilla, and its route allows an approach to great part of

the historical-natural patrimony of our municipality like

the tower of the Catalan, marine patrimony of our

municipality like the tower of the Catalan, marine

classroom, park of the Corchuelo… This footpath

connects with the green route.

Coastal green route Iron layout turned footpath. It crosses the North

municipality on the other hand and very is used for to

walk of path, strolls in bicycle… This layout unites

several municipalities this layout unites several

municipalities and in addition surroundings to great

the coastline, on a cliff of 37 meters of

altitude above sea level.

16

By means of indicates panels the citizen can know

and interpret the formation of our coast. In addition, it is

to emphasize the wonderful views that from this place are

descried. Panoramic a splendid one of all the coastal

zone, the Piedras river, the arrow of New Shade, the

beaches… etc. what they turn to this place a fabulous

“natural viewpoint”.

Marine classroom the Lump

Environmental equipment that allows to the

approach and

knowledge of the

western coastal

surroundings. To

enter themselves

in the salt marsh,

to contemplate a

beautiful beach

landscape and

simultaneously

to discover the wonders and mysteries of the submarine

world.

By means of indicates aquariums, panels,

exhibitions,… the visitor arrives until the most

mysterious places and strangers from that world from so

difficult access, approaching the marine and bird-raising

species that populate our coast.

Excursions in boat As far as organized excursions we emphasized

marine excursions, with its Azariel boat, company

17

dedicated to fluvial itineraries. One of these itineraries is

by the Piedras river, route that an approach allows to

know, to contemplate and to enjoy the natural place Salt

marshes the Piedras river and arrow New Shade.

Beaches

The Antilla

The Antilla is the main

beach of Lepe, to less than 5

kilometres of the city, becomes

a great space opened to the sea

of more than 20 kilometres of

the coast.

With the tourist takeoff of Spain in years 60, Lepe

and its beach of the Antilla begin to emphasize like

tourist point of interest.

The constructions proliferate and during years 70

a national tourism eminently and more concretely formed

by originating people of inner Andalusia is based in this

beach.

From mid the 80 one reconsiders the tourism in

Lepe and the Antilla, and the pertinent measures are

taken to promote these coasts and to create the necessary

infrastructure for the arrival of an elite tourism. A clear

example of it is the construction of the School of

Hostelería, a building of 1993 square meters in which

techniques of kitchen, restoration, languages, computer

science study, etnología, and all those fundamental

matters for the improvement of the tourist services.

18

Still today, the beach of the Antilla continues

conserving the familiar atmosphere of its origins.

Although their hotels congregate every time to greater

number of no national tourists, the Antilla continues

having visitors of the Spanish inner cities (among them

they emphasize Madrid, Badajoz, Cáceres, Seville and

Cordova and, in recent years has been increased

remarkably the presence of tourists of the north of Spain)

that from last the 5 years fill the beach to the 100% of

their capacity, considering in addition the annual growth

of its city-planning infrastructure.

Islantilla In July of 1990 the Mancomunidad de Islantilla is

created to develop to city-planning projects in beaches of

the Antilla (Lepe) and Island Cristina.

From then the tourist infrastructure one unfolds

and residential hotels of high quality, as well as zones are

constructed that monopolize the attention of the national

and international tourism.

In their more centric area, on foot of beach, hotels,

apartments and a great commercial centre and of leisure

are integrated in which the visitor will find

establishments of very diverse typologies, the premises of

restoration, as well as a multi cinema with six rooms of

projection, seat of the Festival the International of

Unpublished Cinema of Islantilla.

Islantilla counts in addition on a golf

course of 27 holes that extends throughout the

park that dominates the excellent beach of

19

Islantilla, on that has extraordinary views. This location

and the attractive club of golf prepared and equipped to

take care of competitions of professionals of the highest

category, makes of this place a wonderful frame for the

practice of this sport. The high quality of their facilities

and the permanent school of golf have turned it the seat

of winter of the Swedish PGA and scene of competitions

of elite like the Spanish PGA, the Challenge Tour or the

Open of Andalusia.

By all it, Islantilla aims more at being one of

beaches demanded by the tourists centre and

norteuropeans that, throughout all the year and mainly in

summer, visit this place, since it offers alternative

activities to the sun and the beach. Thus we can practice

nautical sports like windsurf, the candle, etc., can make to

walk of path, visits in boat to natural places, and practice

other so many sport modalities as voley-beach, triatlón,

pádel, basketball, tennis and soccer room.

Shady Nueva

New Shade is nailed in

the Natural Place Salt marshes of

Stones and Arrow of New Shade.

Near 18 kilometres of white and

fine sand, in her the lovers of the

naturism can enjoy the first

nudist beach of the province of Huelva.

From the East to the west, they are appearing

different salt marshes and sandy grounds where we can

observe the multitude of terrestrial plants that throughout

20

the time have been colonizing the system to dune. In

direction of the west the vegetation increases in height

and thickness, emphasizing the intense “retamales” of the

old Tunney net. A place is this one where marine and

coastal species of fauna like “charranes” coexist, gulls,

etc., happening through reptiles like the small lizard

“colilarga”, whose populations present/display extremely

clear libreas, in addition to rabbits and hares.

The ruins of the Tunny net remember times last of

economic splendour related to the advantage of the tuna,

that was captured by thousands near the coast by means

of the ingenious structures of the tunny nets, that were

pierced arts of fishing of permanent form and which they

constituted a great trap. Their ruins are only inhabited of

exclusive form, nowadays, by common storks that they

occupy year after year the nest, located on the chimney of

the enclosure. Really, New Shade is a natural paradise

with diverse ecosystems submissive constant changes in

which the lovers of the nature will be able to enjoy her in

all their splendour.

The Lump The port of the Lump, fishing and sport port of

Lepe, is located in the mouth of the Piedras River, that it

connects with the Atlantic.

This port, flourishing in the antiquity and enough

apogees from century XVIII to the first decades of

century XX, consists between its facilities with a market

for the fish transaction, an ice factory for the conservation

of the fishing and almost 150 quarters salting hoses. The

boats of the port are dedicated mainly to the artisan

21

fishing, reason why it will not be difficult found, while a

simple stroll occurs, to men sewing networks or preparing

the tools for its work.

Their spotted grounds covered with networks

invite to on foot give a very special stroll of sea. From

this enclave part of the dead ground can be contemplated

denominated natural place Salt marshes of the river

Piedras and Flecha de Shady Nueva.

Here it will be able to visit the Marine Classroom

and its aquarium next to the shipyard and to make routes

by the river in boat, as well as to taste seafood and fish of

the coast in its hospitable bars and restaurants.

The lovers at night and of young music can find

here diverse options to their reach. From the port one can

be taken from the boats that the fluvial route through

Natural Place makes Salt marshes of Stones and Arrow of

New Shade, with which the visitor will be able to know

the landscape close by, the flora and the fauna of this

natural space.

In its environs it is not necessary to forget to know

the hermitage the Beautiful one, in which to contemplate

the ruins of the franciscano convent and where and

celebrates the second weekend of May pilgrimage in its

honor, in which thousands of pilgrims are congregated

that accompany it in their stay in this wonderful

surroundings.

the showcases of more prestige where economic sales and

transactions are generated that get to surpass the 100

million pesetas.

Fair related to agriculture (first source of wealth in

Lepe), supposes in addition tourist excellence to the zone

and to promote new tourist products.

The affluence of visitors coming from all Spain,

when agreeing this fair with the closing of the tourist

season par excellence assures the creation a suitable place

to foment the tourism of our zone in other aspects

different from the one from sun and beach.

Independently of the commercial character of this

fair, the playful and complementary taking of steps to the

exhibition like agricultural technical days is prepared

carefully, delivery of prizes to the Agricultural

Innovation and strawberry and orange de Oro, artistic

27

work exhibitions related to agriculture, these activities are

Gastronomy Lepe counts on a rich gastronomy that it has as it

bases Earth products and the delicious fish and seafood of

our coast.

series of “zampuzos”6, small bars which still they

conserve the traditional style, whose characteristic is that

each one of the proprietors, in the month of September,

steps on in its own zampuzo the grape and elaborates the

wine in own barrels.
