El Puerto de Santa María, Spain

El Puerto de Santa María Spain

El Puerto de Santa María, often shortened to El Puerto, is a small city located in Cádiz Province in the Andalusia region of Spain. It sits on the northeast shore of Cádiz Bay and is easily reached from the city of Cádiz by a short boat trip aboard “El vaporcito” or “El vapor del Puerto.” The city has a strong sense of history and tradition, with many traditional buildings still standing, showing faded signs of former wealth. Tourism is present everywhere, but the city itself has largely avoided being overrun, with the main exceptions of Valdelagrana and Puerto Cherry. With Cádiz and Jerez de la Frontera only a short distance away, there’s no chance of getting bored. A very good vacation destination, indeed!
