Merchants' Manor Houses Tour

The tour will start at 11 am next to the Sanlúcar de Barrameda Tourism Office. We'll sample their most important product by tasting a glass of Manzanilla.

During the two-hour guided tour, we'll walk through Sanlúcar's historic centre, exploring the Merchants' Manor Houses constructed during the 17th and 18th centuries. First, we'll visit Francisco Gil de Ledesma's House, a wine-cellar of the Honorary Mayor of the city.

Next, we will proceed to the Gómez Barreda House, notable for its baroque façade. Then we'll arrive at the Santo Domingo Convent, where religious individuals awaited their ships. A stop will be made at the Casa de Ceballos, an example of 18th-century architecture.

We'll learn about the trade operations and the wealth of the merchants next to the old Sanluqueña branch of the Casa de la Contratación, which managed transactions between the New and Old World. The tour will conclude at 1 pm in the Plaza del Cabildo, a well-known tapas area in Sanlúcar.
