Coats of Arms: Chipiona, El Puerto de Santa Maria, Rota, and Sanlúcar de Barrameda by A.M. Ávila / Photos from left to right: Chipiona by Antonio M. Romero Dorado, El Puerto by Emilio Prado, Rota by El Pantera and Sanlúcar de Barrameda by Antonio M. Romero The other day I was doing some research on Rota´s website, and I was struck by the beauty of the town´s Coat of Arms. I checked the websites of other nearby towns and found other coats of arms that were equally as beautiful. Here are four of them and the stories behind them:
CHIPIONA Chipiona The town of Chipiona is in a location that has a very interesting history that goes back thousands of years. It is at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, which leads up to the City of Sevilla. Its coat of arms bears the words “Caepionis Turris” which is Latin for the “Tower of Caepion” and it portrays a tower-like structure, in the middle of the water, with a light above it. In the Roman era, there existed a lighthouse at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, which was called Turris Caepionis. It was built at the insistence of the Roman consul Quintus Servilius Caepion. The tower acted as a warning for a nearby navigation hazard and it also marked the approach to a navigable river. Although, in the past, the lighthouse stood on the part of a reef known as the Stone of Salmedina, the lighthouse now stands on Chipiona´s shore.
EL PUERTO DE SANTA MARÍA El Puerto de Santa Maria The coat of arms for the town of El Puerto de Santa Maria also depicts a castle by the shore. In this case, though, it is the Castillo de San Marcos (St. Mark´s Castle) which is located in downtown El Puerto. In addition, above the castle, there is a depiction of the Virgin Mary. This is a representation of the apparition of the Virgin to Spanish King Alfonso, the Wise. After the re-conquest of Spain, in the year 1260, King Alfonso named the town “Holy Virgin Mary of the Port” which was later changed to El Puerto de Santa Maria (The Port of Holy Virgin Mary). Prior to that, in the year 711, the town was known as “Amaria Alcanter” by the Moors. And prior to that, legend has it that the town was founded by an Athenian king, after the Trojan War, approximately 3200 years ago (@ 1184 B.C.!!) It was called El Puerto de Menesteo (The Port of Menestheus).

ROTA Rota The coat of arms for the town of Rota depicts a castle standing by the ocean shore. It is a depiction of the Castilla de Luna (Luna Castle), which has always been linked to the history of Rota. It was constructed in the 13th century and is presently utilized as Rota´s City Hall. The depiction of the castle is framed by a black, Catholic rosary which has been part of the coat of arms since the 17th century. It represents the town´s “constant and fervent devotion” to the Virgin of the Rosary, which is the town´s Patron. The name “Rota” is derived from the Latin word “rupta” which means route or way and is a reference to the “Via Augusta,” an ancient Roman road. During the Moorish occupation of Spain, the town of Rota was known as “Ribat Ruta,” which means “fortress” or “place of worship” on the route or road.
SANLÚCAR DE BARRAMEDA Sanlucar de Barrameda “Luciferi Fanum,” sounds ominous. However, the word “Luciferi” (meaning the “bringer of light”) does not stand for “Lucifer,” who some call the devil, rather it is a reference to the Eastern or morning star (more specifically, to the planet Venus) which is associated with the sunrise. The coat of arms for the town of Sanlucar de Barrameda is a curious mixture of Christian and pagan symbols. The words that surround it are in Latin and make reference to the fact that, during Roman times, Sanlucar was the site of an ancient Temple dedicated to the worship of the Roman goddess Venus. The tower and the star above it are symbols making referencing to that ancient temple, as well as the winged bull, which is an ancient symbol which links the astrological sign of Taurus with the planet Venus. The bull is resting upon a floating, golden Bible with an inkwell and pen. These latter symbols are a reference to the many Catholic missionaries that departed from the port of Sanlucar to Christianize the New World.

The view from CView Banana Playabar Banana Playabar is a Beach Bar (chiringuito) on the Playa del Niño de Oro, half way between Chipiona and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Since this beach is semi-urban, it is a different alternative to the crowds on the coast offering a service area and ample parking.The best ways of getting there are the Vía Verde from the deportivo port in Chipiona or from La Jara in Sanlúcar and the Chipiona-Sanlúcar highway. There are signs for the entrance to Banana Playabar on both accesses. This chiringuito offers equal parts of fun and relaxation in a more “out of the way” place. You can avoid the crowds without giving up live performances and other events that fill up most of the week; things such as jam sessions and Chill house evenings. In addition to areas for relaxing, you will find massages, a stage, beach access and a
restaurant. The restaurant serves the best local produce in a varied menu that includes traditional dishes as well as more elaborate ones. The reservations system allows them to design the menu you want if you call ahead. The restaurant is open from midday until late at night; after dinner hours.Their installations offer the possibility of celebrating any type of reunion, party or event in a incomparable setting.
