The Instagram account Capitán Adobo, known for its humor and caricatures of Sevillian idiosyncrasies, has published an invented news story that has gone viral: 'The Government approves the project for Sevilla to have a beach starting summer 2028'. The secondary headline adds an ironic twist: 'The Chipiona City Council finances part of the plan with 100 million euros under the slogan 'Finally Chipiona without Sevillians''. This parody plays on the well-known tendency of Sevillians to flock to the Cádiz coast during summer.

The fictional news details a surreal procedure for creating this urban beach. According to the narrative, a massive transfer of saltwater from the Atlantic coast will begin using 'a million tanker trucks' to progressively flood the land until a maritime front is consolidated in the center of Sevilla. This plan would involve the 'immediate dismantling of the Centenario bridge'.

The imaginary project also includes transforming the Giralda into a maritime lighthouse and creating a 'TranviBarco' (Tram-Boat) to connect the Nervión neighborhood with Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Furthermore, it mentions alleged statements from the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, who reportedly commented: 'It's easier for Sevilla to have a beach than for us to finish the bridge works'. The report also warns of consequences such as the flooding of the Los Remedios district and the relocation of the April Fair to Sevilla Este.

Despite being a clear fabrication, the news has provoked diverse reactions on social media. Some users take it literally, recalling that historically Doñana was underwater and that Sevilla was once a seaside city. Others propose more practical ideas, such as cleaning and conditioning the Guadalquivir River to make it suitable for swimming. Users from Huelva and Cádiz express their wish for the news to be true to alleviate the influx of visitors to their own beaches, while others question the local economy if Sevillians were to stop visiting Chipiona.
