Sanlúcar de Barrameda - Tourist Attractions in Sanlucar de Barrameda, en uk.sanlucarclubdecampo.es

Sanlucar has the benefit of both an important environmental area - consisting of the marshy lowlands, the river, and the vineyards - and from its proximity to the main municipalities in the region (23 km from Jerez de la Frontera, 50 km from Cadiz and 100 km from Seville and Malaga). Thanks to all of this, Sanlucar has become a primary holiday destination for tourists from the surrounding area.

As far as leisure is concerned, Sanlucar features a large urban beach – La Calzada Beach – 2.5 km long and approximately 70 m wide. Sanlucar also has a semi-urban beach – La Jara – 2.6 km long and 75 m wide. Sanlucar´s beaches, which benefit from Doñana’s landscape, are home of the traditional horse races in the summertime. Within the area, we can also find the spectacular beaches in Rota and Chipiona, less than 5 km away. There is also the possibility to visit the beaches of Doñana (pedestrian access only).

Sanlucar town centre houses many beautiful monuments: the walls, built by Guzman El Bueno; the Palace of the Dukes of Medina Sidonia, the Palace Orleans Borbon (site of the City Hall), the Casa de la Cilla (site of the Barbadillo wine group), the convents (including the convents of Descalzas, Madre de Dios and Regina) and Las Covachas (old façade of the Palace of the Dukes of Medina Sidonia).

Finally, gastronomy in Sanlucar is based on the quality of the local products: prawns and manzanilla, a wine which can only be obtained in this region.

Furthermore, Sanlucar benefits from two main natural attractions:

· Doñana Nacional Park. Within its 54.252 ha it houses a biodiversity unequalled in Europe. A highlight is the importance of the marshy lowlands as a passing, breeding and wintering place for thousands of European and African birds.

· The Guadalquivir River, the only river in Spain with significant river traffic and currently navigable as far as Seville.
