If you have crossed all the highlights of the Cádiz province off your list, it is time for the lesser-known places. Like El Puerto de Santa María. A lovely town for a detour and, how could it be otherwise, a visit to a sherry bodega. But there's more!

Spanish beach town of El Puerto de Santa María

During a short break in Andalusia, El Puerto de Santa María probably doesn’t make it into your itinerary. So much to do, so much to see, and always too little time, right? But if you are ready for the lesser-known places in the Cádiz area, El Puerto de Santa María is an excellent option. Not that El Puerto de Santa María has no tourism, on the contrary. But it is mainly the Spaniards who discovered this town, especially the beaches. Quite a few Spaniards from the surrounding cities even have a holiday home here.

If you look at the whole of El Puerto de Santa María on a map, it is a relatively widespread area. The city has several beaches (Playa de las Redes, Playa de la Muralla, Playa de la Puntilla, Playa de Santa Catalina, Playa Fuentebravía, and Playa de Valdelagrana), but your visit mainly takes place along the Guadalete river. This is the center of El Puerto de Santa María, with restaurants and sights.
