Sanlúcar de Barrameda is a sleepy Andalusian town on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, best known for its sherry bodegas and horse-racing track. The town is a popular stop for tourists travelling between Seville and Cádiz, and for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the bigger cities. Sanlúcar is a great place to wander aimlessly, taking in the sights and sounds of a traditional Spanish town. The main square, Plaza de España, is a great place to start, with its beautiful white buildings and shady orange trees. The 16th-century church of Santiago is also worth a visit, as is the nearby Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos, a former Moorish palace. Sanlúcar is also a great place to enjoy a drink or a meal, with a wealth of tapas bars and restaurants to choose from.
