What to see in Zahara de los Atunes barcelo.com

This small population hub, recognised as a local autonomous entity in the municipality of Barbate, encompasses the light of southern Spain in its small historic centre, where visitors can find a range of excellent restaurants offering fine cuisine.

While the census lists its population as slightly over 1,000 inhabitants, if you visit the town between June and October—taking a stroll down its streets and visiting its built-up areas—you’ll see how this figure should be multiplied by at least ten. This discreet fishermen town, which once revolved around the concept of almadraba (the art of bluefin tuna fishing), is today sustained by and geared towards tourists.
