Situated at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River on the Costa de la Luz in Southern Spain is the historic town of Sanlucar de Barrameda. It is most famous for being the third point on the Cadiz sherry triangle - Cadiz and Jerez de la Frontera being the other two. Manzanilla sherry is the area's best-known export, and combined with the exquisite seafood available in the fine restaurants here, Sanlucar de Barrameda is becoming an increasingly popular location in which to buy Spanish property.
Sanlucar de Barrameda is blessed with two fine sandy beaches from where a plethora of water sports activities can be enjoyed. Don't be surprised to see horses on some areas of the beach too as horse riding is big in this part of Spain, with several horse riding centres around the region offering dressage and riding lessons. On the outskirts of town, close to the Doņana National Park, is a fine golf course too.
In the town itself are many great restaurants, bars and entertainment venues that cater for all age groups. Although the town has avoided the scourge of mass tourism, there is a good tourist-oriented infrastructure in place, making the town suitable for mature couples and discerning families.
Sanlucar de Barrameda is a town with a colonial feel. There are no high-rise developments marring the urban area, and most of the Spanish property here is painted white. Sanlucar de Barrameda property most in demand are apartments, villas and townhouses overlooking the beaches and sea. However, the town is such a visual delight that Sanlucar de Barrameda property in any part of the town is a dream to own. On the outskirts of Sanlucar de Barrameda and along the coastline towards Chipiona, buyers may find plots of land on which to build a villa in Spain.
