El Puerto de Santa María, Spain

El Puerto de Santa María Spain

El Puerto de Santa María, or simply El Puerto, is a small city in the Province of Cádiz in the Andalucia region of Spain. It sits on the north‑east shore of the Bay of Cádiz and is easily reached from the city of Cádiz by a short boat trip on “El vaporcito” or “El vapor del Puerto”. The city has a strong sense of history and tradition, with faded but still visible signs of former wealth in many of its traditional buildings. Tourism is evident everywhere, but the city itself seems largely untouched, apart from the areas of Valdelagrana and Puerto Sherry. With Cádiz and Jerez de la Frontera only a short trip away, there’s little chance of getting bored. A grand spot for a holiday, in fairness!
