Palacio de Medina Sidonia
gildapaolina Says:
Built in the XIII century, this 'Palacio' is belonging since then to Duques de Medina Sidonia family. Guided visits are organized normally on sunday (need to reserve), but one charming side of the building and the garden serves as 'cafè' and open every day from 8.30 to 21.00...
Visiting Salinas in Bonanza
gildapaolina Says:
If you decide to visit the Salinas and Bonanza in Sanlucar, please consider that is not so easy! You could reserve your visit by touristic train calling the provided number (cost:12 euros), but it's normally necessary to reach a sufficient number of people (they didn't say...
The harbour...
grovier Says:
Difficult to find, just at the end of the Guadalquivir, a nice town, in front of the Donana park-there is a ferry crossing the river- and some km north, the fishermen harbour...I love harbours,so....
Castillo de Santiago
Hopkid Says:
Surrounded by buildings that make up the extensive Barbadillo sherry bodega, the remains of the 15th century castle can be viewed but not entered as it is currently closed until funding can be secured to complete renovations. It's a short walk east of the Iglesia de Nuestra...
Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la 0
Hopkid Says:
Built in the 15th century, the church has an interesting neo-Muslim doorway and according to guidebooks has a beautiful Mujedar ceiling which we were not able to view because it was late on a Sunday evening when we visited.

Las Covachas
Hopkid Says:
Not entirely sure what this area was used for according to the historical text marker on site, Las Covachas is a lovely Gothic facade in what is the basement level of the Palacio de los Duques. The facade, built in the 15-th century, includes nice arches and motifs of sea...
Bajo de Guía district
Redang Says:
This district offers, especially along the River Guadalquivir (pic), excellent restaurants and bars with typical food and seafood; don't miss the King prawns.
La Chiquitina: Seafood and nice service
gildapaolina Says:
Ok, Sanlucar is the kingdom of 'pescaito frito' and pratically everywhere you can eat wonderful and fresh seafood...But La Chiquitina is a nice 'chiringuito' (kiosk) just in the middle of Calzada del Ejercito (the principal pedestrian way to the sea), when you can sit...
Casa Balbino: Great Seafood Tapas
Hopkid Says:
In the northwest corner of the center of town, the Plaza del Cabildo, Cafe Balbino has a staggering selection of fresh seafood. The best way to sample a lot of different things is to purchase tapas, the small plate size servings that can be shared by everyone at your table....
