Excursion to Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Saturday , November 17th, 2012
Manilva’s councillor for foreign residents, Diego Urieta, is encouraging both foreign residents and Spanish residents of Manilva in general to participate in this next activity organised by his delegation.
It is a one day trip to the Cadiz town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda. It is a very interesting town steeped in history. In 1498 Christopher Columbus left for his third voyage to the New World from Sanlúcar and it is one of Spain’s three better-known sherry producing towns.
I have visited Sanlúcar de Barrameda several times – it is the venue for the incredible horse race meetings on the beach every summer, next to the stunning Doñana National Park and is worth a visit even just to see the beautiful scenery on the way there.
The trip is scheduled for next Saturday, November 17 and the plan is for the bus to leave at 8.30 am from El Castillo de la Duquesa (Duquesa Castle).
There will be a guided tour of the historic area of Sanlúcar, a guided tour and tasting at Bodegas Barbadillo, a tour of La Rondeña polvorones factory and then free time in the afternoon to have lunch and do some shopping. The bus is scheduled to leave Sanlúcar at 6 pm.
The price for this trip is 16€ and lunch is not included in the price.
