Free Tour Sanlúcar de Barrameda: Gateway to America.

We'll tour the city's most significant sites, which marked historic milestones, such as the completion of the first circumnavigation.

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

The start of the tour will begin in the "Barrio Bajo", 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" having left 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 end the tour through the upper part of the city we will arrive at one of the oldest buildings still in use that are preserved, the Castle of Santiago (15th century), passing through emblematic streets with its Manzanilla wineries . 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 of the city will end; It will certainly be the perfect time to cool off with a glass of Manzanilla wine or a cold beer.

The tour will last approximately 1:30-2:00 a.m. Entrance fees and visits to private monuments such as the Parish Church of Our Lady of the O, the Ducal Palace of Medina Sidonia, Santiago Castle, 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.

A minimum donation of €10 per adult and €5 per child under 16 years of age included in the reservation is recommended.

I collaborate regularly with Guru Miguel, and on some occasions, he may make the visits that are booked on my profile.

I am not a professional guide, so if you want a professional guide, I recommend going to the tourist office.

If you are interested in visiting a Manzanilla winery, I can offer a visit to Bodegas Argüeso-Yuste after the tour ends.
