Join Tickets and Travel to Sanlucar de Barrameda.  The town stands on the left bank of the mouth of the River Guadalquivir, on land whose interior is rich in fruit trees and vineyards, where the famous Manzanilla wine is produced; near the coast and the river there are beaches and pine forests, such as La Algaida, and mud flats such as those at Bonanza, which is part of the Doñana Natural Park

The town, located opposite Doñana Natural Park, on the banks of the river mouth, dates back to Moslem times, and its narrow streets reach down towards the river and the sea.

There are a multitude of factors of interest to tourists, such as the climate, the beaches of Bajo de Guia, La Calzada, Las Piletas and La Jara, and a number of monuments: Saint James Castle, Our Lady's Church, the Duke of Medina Sidonia's Palace and Saint Domingo's Convent.

In the 15th and 16th centuries it has  acquired great importance as a point of contact with America, with many expeditions setting sail from its harbour, such a Colombus" 1498 expedition and the one undertaken by Magellan and Elcano in 1519. In 1583 it was declared a permanent starting point for such journeys.

The trip includes roundtrip transportation, guided visit of the town and some free time for shopping and enjoy the town's local gastronomy and wine.
