Sanlúcar de Barrameda

What better way to indulge in the richness of Andalucía than to savor a bowl of creamy, rich salmorejo sprinkled with jamón, feast on a plate of freshly caught pulpo, and sip on a tumbler of sherry? Enjoy regional culinary delicacies and an authentic Andalusian experience in Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

The name of this seaside town is believed to stem from its Moorish heritage. Shaluqa, phonetically akin to Sanlúcar, is the Arabic name for the Levanter winds, which blow through the region and give the the Palomino grapes growing in the Balbaina y Miraflores vineyards their distinctive faintly salted flavor.

Visit the cellars and vineyards of La Gitana, the award-winning internationally acclaimed manzanilla that hails from this charming city, and experience the singularity of these sea salt kissed local grapes. Learn all about the production process and delight in the intricately unique aromas and flavors of some of the world’s most preeminent sherries. Read more…
