Sanlúcar de Barrameda

Sanlúcar de Barrameda

Columbus sailed from this harbor on his third voyage to the Americas, in 1498. Twenty years later, Magellan began his circumnavigation of the globe from here. Today this fishing town has a crumbling charm and is best known for its langostinos (jumbo shrimp) and Manzanilla, an exceptionally dry sherry. The most popular restaurants are in the Bajo de Guía neighborhood, on the banks of the Guadalquivir. Here, too, is a visitor center for Doñana National Park.
