Apartment in historic centre of Sanlucar de Barrameda

If you want to experience the real Andalucia, avoiding the mass tourism of the costas, then Sanlucar de Barrameda is an ideal place to visit and experience. The apartment is in a quiet location in the historic centre of town amidst the centuries old convents, churches and palaces and no more than a 3 minute walk from excellent cafes, bars and restaurants in the main squares: the Plaze de Roque and the Plaza del Cabildo. The beaches are a 10-15 minute walk from the apartment. It can accommodate up to 7 people. Internally it has been furnished and equipped to a very high standard in the local Andalusian style, with a private garage for your car. It is now very difficult to find parking in the centre of Sanlucar, so a private garage is essential if you are coming by car.

Accommodation and Facilities for the apartment in Cadiz Province (Costa de la Luz and del Sol), Spain

Historic buildings

The apartment is in the heart of the old town, adjacent to the oldest church in Sanlucar. The church dates from the 13th century and has an impressive Mudejar portal and a magnificently crafted wooden ceiling. Next to church is the palace of the Duchess of Medina Sidonia, a part of which dates back to the Moorish era. The palace has a beautiful café area and wonderful, exotic gardens, all of which are open to the public on a daily basis. On the other side of the apartment are old sherry bodegas that are open for visits and tastings. Immediately adjacent to the bodegas is the recently renovated castle that dates back to the 14th century. The castle has a splendid courtyard bar and restaurant.

Eating & drinking

Sanlucar is famous for its seafood, particularly langostinos, its fresh vegetables grown in the area surrounding the town, and its splendid manzanilla sherry. The best place to eat is in the high quality restaurants and bars by the waterfront (Bajo de Guia), which also have a great selection of wines. However there are many other tapas bars and restaurants within walking distance of the apartment that offer excellent value for money, including the main plazas that are no more than a 3 minute walk away. The town is famous for Manzanilla , a unique dry sherrry, but other sherries such as Cortado, Amontillado and Pedro Jimenez, are also produced in the numerous bodegas in the town. High quality brandies are also produced and more recent products include a local red and a dry white wine.

The Donana National Park

The Doñana is essentially the delta of the river Guadalquivir and is the most protected national park in Spain. It is famous for the variety of species of birds, permanent residents, winter visitors from north and central Europe or summer visitors from Africa, such as colourful flamingos. In the marshes and amid the cork oak forests, you've a good chance of seeing grey herons, lanner falcons, ring and turtle doves, partridges, oxpeckers, cattle egret, storks, vultures and possibly the rare Spanish Imperial Eagle. The park consists of three distinct eco-systems: the dunes, the marshes and the forests. There are still a few pairs of the very rare Spanish Lynx resident in the park.

Golf Information:

There is an 18 hole, par 72 golf course that is no more than one mile from town.
