Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Coastal municipality in Cádiz Province, Spain

Located at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, Sanlúcar de Barrameda extends along the Atlantic coast with sandy beaches and a 30-meter elevation.

In 1519, Fernando de Magallanes departed from the port of Sanlúcar de Barrameda to initiate the first recorded circumnavigation of the Earth.

The town maintains active wine production traditions, particularly the manufacturing of Manzanilla sherry, in cellars distributed throughout its urban area.

Visitors can access multiple beaches including Bajo de Guía, Calzada, Las Piletas, and La Jara, each providing different services and environmental conditions.

Every August, the local beach transforms into a horse racing track, continuing a tradition that began in 1845 and attracts thousands of spectators.
