Tours & Activities in Sanlúcar de Barrameda

We will take a tour of the most significant sites in the city that marked historic milestones, such as the culmination of the first circumnavigation.

The visit will take place through the most central and emblematic streets and squares of the city, coinciding with many of its civil and religious monuments . On Saturdays, I include a tour of the food market where you can see why Sanlúcar has been designated Gastronomic Capital of Spain 2022. (Remember to bring bibs for this part of the tour) At the end, you will surely be interested in trying some of these delicacies with a good tapa in one of the many bars and taverns in the city.

The tour will begin in the "Barrio Bajo" (Lower Quarter), starting at the Plaza del Cabildo , continuing through Plaza de San Roque , Trascuesta , Mercado de Abastos and Covachas to go up to the "Barrio Alto" (High Quarter), leaving behind central streets of churches and convents . At the end of the climb up the most historic slope of the town, we will be greeted by the imposing Orleans Palace (current Town Hall), from there to the Ducal Palace of Medina Sidonia and the Parish of La O; to finish the tour through the upper part of the city we will arrive at one of the oldest buildings still in use, the Santiago Castle (15th century), passing through emblematic streets with its Manzanilla wine cellars . We will return to the "Barrio Bajo" of our town, arriving at the Church of Santo Domingo , the largest in size in the town and built entirely of stone , at this point our visit to the city will end; It will certainly be the perfect time to cool off with a glass of manzanilla wine or a nice cold beer.

The tour will last approximately 1:30h-2:00h . Entrance fees and visits to private monuments such as the Parroquia Mayor de Ntra. Sra. de la O, the Ducal Palace of Medina Sidonia, the Castle of Santiago or the Church of Santo Domingo are not included.
These monuments can be visited by paying an entrance fee at the time you wish to visit them.
