Sanlucar de Barrameda Walking Tour Itinerary

The guided walking tour of Sanlucar's historic centre begins at 11 am from Avenida Calzada de la Duquesa Isabel, leading from the city center to the beach.

Strolling along this avenue, you will learn about the town's ancient history. At Plaza del Cabildo, see the monument commemorating the first circumnavigation of the Earth. This square separates the Barrio Bajo (Lower District) from the Barrio Alto (Upper District), where the tour continues.

As you explore Plaza de San Roque and Calle Bretones, known for their typical Andalusian architecture, you will arrive at the Covaches de Sanlucar, Gothic archways linked to an ancient marketplace adorned with mythical sea creature carvings. The tour will continue up Bethlehem Hill to the Auditorio de la Merced, a former church turned theatre from the 17th century.

Your next stop is Plaza de la Paz, featuring Renaissance and Medieval architecture, including the Church of Nuestra Señora de la O and the Palace of the Dukes of Medina Sidonia. A break will follow at a typical Sanlucar bodega for a tasting of Manzanilla, the local sherry.

The tour concludes around 1 pm at the Castle of Santiago, where you can admire its Medieval fortress structure and learn about its myths and legends.
