El Puerto de Santa María, Port city in Cádiz Province, Spain
The coastal municipality stretches along the Bay of Cádiz, where the Guadalete River meets the Atlantic Ocean, featuring golden sand beaches and pine forests.
The port gained prominence in the 13th century when Alfonso X of Castile reclaimed it from Moorish control and renamed it from Alcanatif to Santa María del Puerto.
The Castle of San Marcos, constructed on a former mosque site, displays a combination of Almohad and Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.
Regular catamaran services connect El Puerto de Santa María with Cádiz city, making it simple to explore the entire Bay of Cádiz region.
The city maintains numerous sherry bodegas where traditional wine production methods continue, contributing to the region's wine heritage and exports.
