El Puerto de Santa María

The Port of Santa María, nestled in the vibrant Bay of Cádiz, is a city with a deep maritime flavour and a rich wine-making tradition. Known as "The City of One Hundred Palaces", its noble streets and Andalusian patios invite to a peaceful stroll. For the pilgrim on the Via Augusta, it's an indispensable cultural stop. Its main attraction are its bodegas, where fine wines age, offering visits and tastings that immerse the traveller in Jerez wine culture. The imposing San Marcos Castle, extensive beaches like Valdelagrana, and lively atmosphere, especially along the Marisco waterfront, make it the perfect place to rest, enjoy Gaditan cuisine, and feel the pulse of history before continuing northwards.
