Barbate

Barbate extends along the Atlantic coast with sandy beaches, a fishing port, and natural cliffs rising up to 100 meters above sea level.

The settlement evolved from a Roman fishing center known for fish preservation techniques, with archaeological evidence of ancient salt production facilities.

The Almadraba tuna fishing ritual takes place each May during the full moon, following methods passed through generations of local fishermen.

The town maintains a marina with 300 boat spaces, refueling services, and repair facilities for both recreational vessels and commercial fishing boats.

The Parque Natural de la Breña y Marismas del Barbate combines pine forests, steep cliffs, and salt marshes in a protected natural space.
