Playa de la Barrosa is an 6-kilometre-long (3.7 mi) beach in the municipality of Chiclana de la Frontera, Province of Cádiz, Spain.[1] It was the site of the Battle of Barrosa in 1811. It is separated from the Playa de Sancti Petri by cliffs. At the north end of the Barrosa beach is a tower called Torre Bermeja. The resort of Novo Sancti Petri lies at the south end of Playa de la Barrosa and contains a defensive tower structure called Torre del Puerco. Several pieces of music have been composed about the beach, including Isaac Albéniz's Torre Bermeja and Paco de Lucía's "La Barrosa".
