In Spain Sanlúcar de Barrameda is synonymous for tradition and gastronomy. The small Andalucian town is located on the Costa de la Luz where the Guadalquivir River and the Atlantic Ocean meet. On the other side of the river you find Doñana National park, Europe’s largest wetlands wildlife park. Together with Jerez de la Frontera and el Puerto de Santa Maria the town completes the “sherry triangle” but only Sanlúcar has the unique environment to produce the manzanilla. This sherry-like wine makes a perfect combination with the seafood that is brought ashore here every day.

The inhabitants of Sanlúcar are known for their inborn friendliness and hospitality. Here you can still experience a typical Spanish atmosphere that you hardly find along the well known costas due to mass tourism nowadays. The area is a tourist destination mainly for Spanish people. Because of the climate and the size of the town (60.000 inhabitants) the more than hundred bars and restaurants are open all year round. Another typical Spanish theme you can enjoy here is the flamenco.

Sanlúcar has two excellent beaches with waters that are recommended for health purposes. Both la Calzada and la Jara have fine golden sand and are together more than 3 kilometres in length. The town itself is divided in an old quarter “Barrio Alto” and a relatively newer part “Barrio Bajo”. In Barrio Alto you find most of the old churches, palaces and the bodegas. The Barrio Bajo used to be the old fishing village with small white houses and narrow streets. Here is also the main square Plaza del Cabildo, the beating heart of the town. From here it is a 600 meters walk to the beach via the tree lined avenue. Where the town meets the sea you find Bajo de Guia area. This is where the finest seafood restaurants of Andalucia are located. It’s an idyllic experience to watch the sun go down over the Atlantic Ocean while tucking into the succulent fresh fare here and washing it down with a drop of manzanilla.

In a range of only 30 kilometres from Sanlucar you find 4 golf courses that are entirely different in style and entourage. There is Sanlucar Club de Campo on the outskirts of the town, Costa Ballena Golf with 27 + 9 holes along the Atlantic Ocean, Golf el Puerto near el Puerto de Santa Maria and Sherry Golf with nice views of the historical city Jerez de la Frontera.
