A CITY TO VISIT

What to do in Sanlúcar de Barrameda

We invite you to stroll and explore Sanlúcar de Barrameda, to get to know its history and to relax contemplating and tasting its wonders. The sunsets, its varied and exquisite gastronomy, the walks through the seaside neighbourhoods on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, or its picturesque taverns. All this and more will make you feel like you are in a corner of Andalusia that preserves a special flavour.

Our village is one of the most beautiful and picturesque in the area, a diamond in the rough, a meeting place of civilisations and an excellent starting point for visiting the province.

In short, a privileged place full of life where you can do everything: go out for a drink, sunbathe, go shopping, enjoy seafood cuisine, discover the natural landscapes of Doñana, plan a pub crawl with friends, go horse riding, relax in a fish-spa…

Doñana

Together with my team, I manage the visit to Doñana, ensuring a unique experience. Twenty ecosystems, framed in three major environments: beaches (consolidated dunes and mobile dunes), marshes (salt and fresh) and reserves (scrubland and pine forests), bathed by the Guadalquivir estuary, the true master of Doñana.

Sand/clay, drought/flood, fresh water/salt water… the meeting of opposing elements produces inexplicable phenomena that generate legends and beautiful texts.

Gastronomy

My town is a gastronomic town. The cuisine of my town is based on the products of its sea and countryside, products of the highest quality interpreted in family kitchens, in restaurants and bars with traditional recipes and paired with generous wines from the Jerez region, among which “La Manzanilla de Sanlúcar” shines.

If you are planning to visit me, allow me to be your guide on this journey of flavours. I propose a gastronomic route to get lost and find the selection of my favourite places for tapas, taverns and restaurants in the following link.

Wines and wineries

I have something special for you in Sanlúcar de Barrameda that has seen life go by. History, in silence, has engraved in its memory what has happened and stored in its flavour. The passage of time and very special conditions created the gold of Sanlúcar, “La Manzanilla”.

At the end of the 18th century, the criaderas and solera ageing system was established and, in the 19th century, Manzanilla was consolidated as a member of the Denominations of Origin Jerez, Vinegar, Brandy de Jerez and Manzanilla de Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

Now, in the 21st century, it has risen from the ashes to modernise and offer us forms and nuances hitherto unknown. More than 20 wineries bring us the revolution of the Manzanilla de Sanlúcar and the wines of Jerez.

Monuments and churches

I am in a place whose origins date back to the mythical civilisation of Tartessos. Civilisations such as the Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs have left their artistic and architectural mark on this territory, and we have even received some Viking incursions over the years.

In the 13th century it was conquered by the Christian armies of Alfonso X of Castile and León. Later, it was the dominion of Alonso Pérez de Guzmán and, under the rule of the Dukes of Medina Sidonia, Sanlúcar had its moment of glory in connection with the discovery of America and the subsequent trade with the New Continent. This city became a key point, a port of departure for a large number of expeditions to the Americas and a meeting place for sailors, clergymen, merchants, traders, pirates and nobles.
