Back to: Spain car hire Jerez spain bodegas Due to its great geographical location, half-way between the sea and the mountains, Jerez offers an outstanding number of options to tourists.
Sanlucar de Barrameda
where the Manzanilla
sherry comes from, and the protected National Park of Doñana are only
at 22km from Jerez.
A visit to this old village is obliged. Sanlúcar
de Barrameda is located on the Atlantic ocean coast and at the mouth
of the river Guadalquivir which provides the wine cellars of this village
with the necessary conditions to grow Manzanilla. If you have time do
not miss to visit Bodegas Barbadillo , leader producer of manzanilla.

Manzanilla is a dry wine that belongs to the D.O.of Jerez but
that only can be aged in Sanlúcar de Barrameda because of the special
microclimate . Among the Manzanilla Sanlúcar is known for the "langostinos"
(king prawns) which come from the mixed waters of the river Guadalquivir
and the Atlantic Ocean.
So it is worth at least to go to have a glass
of manzanilla to accompany the fresh langostinos or any other tapa ,
fish or seafood. You will be enchanted by the main square , where you
will find many tapas bars with the best selection of seafood from the
area.
We recommend you : Casa Balbino where you will find more than 300
different tapas and enjoy the really andalusian atmosphere and conviviality.
If you are already in Sanlúcar you must not miss to visit the Natural
Park of Doñana across the river .There is a boat that cross the river
everyday from Bajo de guía , the sea promenade of Sanlúcar where there
is one of the best fish and seafood restaurant of Andalucia , "El Bigote"
but you will have to reserve in advance if you want to go there as is
always fully booked.
El Puerto de Santa Maria and its beaches are
at just 12 minutes driving and it is also a wine producer town, where
one of the most emblematic bodega of sherry is located, Osborne , which
is owner of this famous black bulls that are on the whole geography
of Spain.
El Puerto is famous
summer resort mainly for Spanish tourism from Madrid and Seville is
a very nice place where tapas , wines , seafood …is as important as
in the rest of this region.
Cadiz,
The capital of the province and the beautiful Atlantic
Coastal Route are only 20 minutes away.Also named as "La tacita de plata"
is a really beautiful city , its beaches , promenades and the town center
are always busy with people , it is a very lively town . It is worth
to go and visit this city , with it is wonderful cathedral and fortress
that surrounding the old city .
There are also many places to "tapear"
and restaurants but we recommend to visit El Faro restaurant , simply
fantastic.
The beautiful white village of Arcos de la Frontera,
known as the gateway to the route of the White Villages, is less than
a half-hour drive away.
