Archaeological Ensemble of Baelo Claudia

When you visit Spain you may not expect to see evidence of the Roman Empire, But the Archaeological Ensemble of Baelo Claudia situated in Tarifa gives you the opportunity to step back in time to when Romans had Spanish beachfront properties. The city was founded sometime in the late second century B.C and it became a profitable city due to the fish fermentation industry; which was a favorite Roman delicacy. The ancient city is an extremely affordable day trip and entrance to the site is free for EU passport holders and just 1.50 Euros for those who are not citizens of the EU, and also supplied is free parking for all visitors. The site is pristinely preserved and is filled with temples, markets, aqueducts, a theatre and the ancient fish salting factory. If you're trying to find an affordable way to visit a unique historical site in a naturally beautiful environment this one comes highly recommended. Another money saving tip is to book and stay in Costa de la Luz as the holiday accommodation here is very reasonable. Book in advance by searching online Costa de la Luz holiday rental apartments for a potential discount.
