Barrameda Information |
Sanlucar de Barrameda
is a delightful town, situated at the northern tip of the sherry
triangle (the other two points being Jerez and El Puerto de Santa
Maria), located on the Guadalquivir river estuary. The speciality
tipple here is the distinctive manzanilla wine, which acquires its
dry, slightly salty tang from the seaside environment and the moist
poniente wind. The
town is equally famed for its excellent seafood, for which manzanilla
is (coincidentally!) the ideal accompaniment.
Columbus set sail from Sanlucar in 1498 and, a
few decades later, the Portuguese, Ferdinand Magallan set off to
circumnavigate the globe from here, in search of a westerly route
to the spice islands of Indonesia. Unfortunately, he was killed
by local Indians in the Philippines.
Today, the town is divided into the older quarter, the Barrio Alto
where most of the interesting sights can be seen and the newer Barrio
Bajo, closer to the river. The beaches at Sanlucar
are also magnificent and stretch several kilometres to the south-west,
while the former port and fishing quarter, the Bajo de Guía,
is where some of the local seafood restaurants can be found.
