Puerto Real

Puerto Real extends across 196 square kilometers along the northern shore of the Bay of Cádiz, featuring maritime zones and inland territories at 8 meters elevation.

The Catholic Monarchs established Puerto Real in 1483, granting special maritime rights for expeditions to North Africa with obligations to share profits with the Spanish Crown.

The municipality maintains strong connections to maritime traditions through neighborhood associations, celebrating annual events including carnivals and Saint Sebastian festivities.

The municipality houses an Airbus manufacturing facility that produces aircraft components, marking a transition from traditional shipbuilding to modern aerospace industries.

The territory contains sections of the Bay of Cádiz Natural Reserve, which encompasses wetlands supporting varied wildlife populations in southern Spain.
