SUMMARY

Baha de Cdiz

their victory by constructing numeroustemples, convents and monasteriesaccording to new artistic styles.

Cadiz and Puerto de Santa Mariawere to play an important role inChristopher Columbus Americanadventure , not just throughout the voya-ges of discovery but also during the com -mercial relationships later establishedwith the New World. The Baha de Cdizwould allow Seville to stand out as the main Portof the Indies, later becoming a looting target forTurkish, English and Portuguese pirates. It isduring that period that fortifications for coastaldefence are extensively built, among them thefortified walls of Cadiz.

This financial boom , which took place betweenthe 17 th and 18 th century, resulted in the cons-truction of the best samples of religious archi-tecture ever to be present in the region (CadizCathedral , Jerez Cathedral and Carthusianmonastery), in addition to many palaces andmanor houses.

La Baha played an important role in the

resistance against the French, a s t he guerri l lawarfare being staged often managed to confusethe French army. Cadiz and San Fernando espe-cially stood out for their heroic resistance. Oncethe invaders were expelled, the Cortes of Cadiz(parliament) was established in 1812 and thefirst Spanish Constitution known as "La Pepa"was drafted on the 19 th March (St. Josephs day)that very same year.

THE AMERICAN ADVENTURE.

Due to the mud siltingaffecting the GuadalquivirRiver, the port of Cadizbecame the Door toAmerica to the detriment of

Seville, and as from the17th century, i t wouldstand as the receptionpoint for all the wealth ori-ginating from the NewWorld.

I ts strategic locat ion, act ing as a br idgebetween Europe an d Africa and as the onlyroute communicating the Mediterranean withthe Atlantic Ocean, is probably the reason forthe existence of ancient settlements on thisland dating as far back as 10,000 years. Aclaim well substantiated by the archaeologicalremains of Aculadero in Puerto de Santa M ariaan d Mesas de Asta in Jerez.

Tartesian and Phoenician traders first landedin the area about 3,000 years ago, thus defininga clear reference point between before and afterin its vast history. The Phoenicians would foundGadir (1,10 0 BC), making it the oldest city in thewestern world, and their culture would leavebehind ancient vestiges such as those found atthe Doa Blanca Castle archaeological site(Puerto de Santa Maria); one of most importantfrom said period culture found in the Peninsula,or the Phoenician sarcophagus exhibited in theMuseum of Cadiz.

Carthaginians and Romans would turn Cadizinto the scene of their battles, from which theprevailing Empire would start the swift Roma-nization of the area and bring a long period ofsplendour.

After the Visigoth period, the Musl ims tookcontrol of the region in 711 AD. They wouldmaintain their dominance unti l the mid-13thcentury, w he n Alphonse X conquered and inte-grated the region into the Kingdom of Casti le.The Christians would leave a clear mark of

ANDALUS HERITAGE.The Muslims left in theBaha de Cdiz invaluabletraces of their long presen-ce. In addition to the coas-tal for t i f ications, i t is worthmentioning the Alcazar deJerez (citadel), one of thefew examples of Almohadearchitecture that stillexists. Within the fortifiedenclosure stand theMosque (with its ablutioncourt, mihrab and minaret),later converted into aChristian chapel, and theArab Baths.

NATURISM AT THEHEART OF THE BAY.Between the last buildingsof Valdelagrana and themouth of the San PedroRiver, the area better knownas Ramon 2 is a stretch ofbeach in which naturism isoften practised.

One of the main tourist attractions of theBaha de Cdiz is its 45 km of golden sandand crystalline water beaches, which standamong the finest of the Andalusian coastline.

Its mild climate makes it possible to enjoyswimming and sunbathing until late in the year(sometimes even until October or November),and also to practice water activities such asfishing, diving, sai ling, and windsurf.

In addit ion, the beaches draw part icularattention due to their diversity (ranging fromunspoilt landscapes to tourist resorts) and thequality of their facilities and infrastructure .Indeed, every year the Baha de Cdiz sees it seffort rewarded with the European CommunityBlue Flag award for quality and cleanliness.

Nature lovers and those looking for quietlandscapes can choose from or hidden andempty coves or beaches, away from the t ouristresorts such as that of Levante (Baha deCdiz Natural Park) in Puerto de Santa Maria,or El Castillo and Camposoto in San Fernando.

Those preferring to enjoy the beach with the

family without renouncing the amenities foundin the large tourist resorts would benefit froma wide selection of places to choose fromwithin the region. Puerto de Santa Mariaaccommodates the lively beaches of Valde-lagrana, La Muralla and La Puntilla. The actualcity of Cadiz conceals the wonderful Victoriabeach (its sandy ground par excellence) with aseafront promenade bursting with life, and La

Caleta , located right in the city centre. Otherquieter although equally equipped with servi-ces beaches are La Calita and Fuentebrava inPuerto de Santa Maria, or that of Santa Maradel Mar in Cadiz.

Following a spectacular redevelopment overthe last few decades, Chiclana de la Fronteracan easily show off about its heavenly bea-ches framed between pine forests and cliffs (El

Puerco and Punta de Piedra), or sandy groundssuch as La Barrosa, which is equipped with thebest available facilities. The housing estat e ofNovo de Sancti Petri, surrounded by golf cour-ses and luxurious hotel and sport complex,enjoys a wonderful and lively atmosphere,especially in the sum mer.

SCENERY OUT OF AFILM SET. The heavenly bea-ches existing in the Bayhave served as scenery forthe making of many filmssuch as Captain Alatriste(2006), Cain (1986), or DieAnother Day (200 2), fromthe James Bond secretagent 00 7 saga.

The Baha de Cdiz benefi ts from over2 2 0 , 0 0 0 h e c t ar e s of na tu ra l parks , reser -ves and landscapes, thus making it one ofthe areas with the largest proport ion of pro-tected environmenta l land of al l the country.

The most signif icant zone is the Baha deCdiz Natural Park , w i th a to ta l surface o f10 ,00 0 hectares and located on a wide seaestuary. Its geographic locat ion, betweenthe Doana National Park and the Strait ofGibraltar, makes i t a spot of special relevan-ce in the routes of the many migratorybi rds f lying between the European and theAfrican continent.

Being a contact point between marineand f reshwater species, and wi th the advan-tage of a constant supply of f lowing water(originating among others from the SanPedro River and the Trocadero or SanctiPetr i s t reams), p lenty of sunl ight and abun-dant nutr ients, the area provides an idealspot for a diversity of shel l fi sh , c rus tace-ans, f ish and aquat ic b irds to set t le in.

The Natural Reserves of the EndorreicosComplexes at Puer to de Santa Mar ia ,Puerto Real and Chiclana have an impor-tant ecological value for the preservation ofnat ive b i rd species, some of which are in

danger of becoming extinct. The Lagoon ofMedina (also within the Natural Reservearea) is the largest in the province of Cadizand the second in s i ze in Anda lus ia .Located near Jerez, i t represents a spot ofrecognised internat ional importance foraquat ic b i rds (whi te-headed ducks, crestedcoots and marbled ducks).

PUNTA DEL B OQUERN.A sandy strip locatedbeyond the CamposotoBeach (San Fernando) andmade up of salt marshes,dunes and seawater. Itsentire surface belongs tothe Baha de Cdiz NaturalPark and is one of its morebeautiful spots.

PARAJES NATURALES.The region has two naturallandscapes, these beingthe Trocadero Island(Puerto Real) and the Saltmarshes of Sancti Petri(Chiclana de la Frontera),both within the Baha deCdiz Natural Park. Theseecosystems of tidal saltmarshes located in theIberian South Atlantic arcconstitute an ideal restingand feeding habitat formany aquatic birds boththrough the winter andduring their migratory rou-tes. They are also impor-tant as breeding groundsfor some species of birdsand European South

Atlantic populations of fish,crustaceans and shellfish.

Maximum artist ic expression of the Andalusian peo-ple. This will be available throughout the year at itsfairs and festivals such as the prestigious Festivalde Flamenco de Jerez (celebrated at the beginningof year) and the Fiesta de la Bulera, also in Jerez,or celebrations such as Easter and Christmas, aswell as in its flamenco shows and clubs that fill theatmosphere with their rhythms and tunes.

The Carnival at the Bay has become a tradition

and it is considered as the most popular in Spain.In the city of Cadiz, where the carnival has beendeclared of International Tourist Interest , the f irs tcarnival events already took place centuries ago.Traders from Genoa, Venice or France bringing withthem masks and fancy dresses used to attend ballsadded to the rhythms of guajiras, habaneras andguarachas originating from Cuba and played by shipcrews through the streets of Cadiz. This would bethe origin of what today is known as carnival. Thefirst groups and comparsas (troupes of musi-cians) date from 1 8 5 0 , and after being banned forseveral years, the celebration, as we know it today,was restored in 197 7 with its usual irony, joy andspark.

MUSEUMS. The histori-cal past of the Baha deCdiz is well represented bythe relics exhibited in theMuseum of Cadiz, in whichan archaeological section isspecially dedicated to thePhoenician culture, with ano-ther gallery for Fine Arts anda third section for Ethno-graphy. The MunicipalMuseum in Puerto de SantaMaria, Municipal HistoricalMuseum in San Fernandoor the ArchaeologicalMuseum in Jerez completethe historical insight of theregion. In a different pers-pective, it is worth visitingthe Rafael AlbertiFoundation Museum, A jour-

ney through the life andwork of the local poet fromhis bir th in 1902 to pre-sent t imes, with photo-graphs, manuscripts , docu-ments, drawings andmemorabilia of the poetgathered throughout hisintense life.

Culture, Flamenco and Traditions prevail in theBaha de Cdiz as a close-related trilogy. Being a landof distinguished writers of t he calibre of Rafael Alberti(Puerto de Santa Maria) and Jose Manuel CaballeroBonald (Jerez de la Frontera), fine musicians such asManuel de Falla (Cadiz), and great flamenco artistssuch as Camarn de la Isla (San Fernando), JoseMerc and Lola Flores (both from Jerez), it is not sur-prising for the region to feature a busy cultural agen-da with many prestigious events. Among the most tra-ditional venues, the Falla theatre in Cadiz and theVillamarta equivalent in Jerez stand out.

Of special relevance is the Comedy TheatreFestival (Puerto de Santa Maria) organized duringthe summer by the Pedro Muoz Seca foundation,and the Atlantic Film Festival Alcances takingplace in the city of Cadiz. Held for 37 years (up toSeptember 2006 ), the latter is one of the oldest cul-tural events in Andalusia and enjoys a high reputa-tion in the national cinematographic panorama,coming just in fourth place behind the film festivalsof San Sebastin, Valladolid and Gijn.

Flamenco holds par excellence a privileged placein the Bays cultural life. Rhythm styles such as

Peteneras, tanguillos, alegras and buleras rise toacquire art status in San Fernando, Cadiz, PuertoReal, Puerto de Santa Maria and Jerez de laFrontera , the latter being home to the AndalusianCentre for Flamenco Art and the Chair ofFlamencology.

Like in on other region, here the true enthusiastof the Arte jondo (traditional flamenco singing)would enjoy what it is considered to be as the

HANDICRAFT. Amongthe main handicrafts of theregion stand out thoseassociated the horse, wineand flamenco culture, i. e.saddlery, barrel making(Jerez de la Frontera) andflamenco dresses. The fol-kloric dolls of Chiclana enjoyinternational popularity andare almost a symbol ofSpanish handicrafts.Mahogany cabinet making inSan Fernando, as well asleather binding and traditio-nal fan making in Cadiz arealso highly relevant.

ded localities such as Chiclana, San Fernandoor Puerto Real with a part icular flair and seafa-ring charm .

In the countryside, the usual tasks tha thave occupied mankind since ancient timesalso attract th e visitor to the popular architec-ture of the region. Around the salt marshes,its landscape is livened up with traditional

buildings such as the salt houses an d t idalmil ls, driven by the f low of the incoming andreceding tides. The whitened and majesticlocal farmhouses surrounded by humble har-vest sheds scattered all over the fields breakthe wavy monotony of the endless rows ofvineyards.

CADIZ AND HAVANA. Astroll by the Cadiz seafrontfrom La Caleta to theCampo del Sur will bringthe visitor reminiscence ofthe Havana harbour. Thesimilarities with manyHispano-American cities arereally strong due to theconstant exchange onceexisting between Cadiz andthe New World. Cadizcathedral is a good exam-ple of said influence, asalso are the many palace-houses and lookout towerspopulating the skyline of theold Gadirduring the expan-sion on American land.

The cities around the Baha de Cdiz can all beproud of their unique appearance and character.

The cosmopolitan atmosphere of Cadiz hasalways left an imprint on the city, and its eternalviews onto the sea have given to it a very distinc-tive urban development style. Its narrow streetsand tenements, so peculiar and typical fromCadiz, are the result of its continuous battleagainst the ocean that has always prevented its

territorial expansion. The bastions and the urbandevelopment complex concealed within the cityare a reminder of its colonial architecture. Cadizand Havana, ever so far apart and yet so united.

For many generations, the importance of thewine industry has left in Jerez de la Frontera aspecial imprint reflected in its wine cellars,known as the " cathedrals of wine". With the laterarrival of British and French somme liers, the cityacquires an aristocratic flair that is mirrored inits palaces and houses.

Something similar takes place in Puerto deSanta Maria where its important sommelier tra-dition is translated into luxurious buildings and

typical wine cellars. The city acquired great rele-vance in the 16th and 17th centuries as navalbase for the Royal Galleons and headquartersfor the Captaincy General of the Sea and OceanFleet, hence chosen as main residence bymany rich traders.

The traditional shallow f ishing and seafoodfishing activities going on in the Bay have provi-

the main reason for it to be selected to hos t the20 02 World Equestrian Games.

Another way for the visitor to approach theuniverse of the horse is contemplating theseanimals in their natural habitat or participatingin the stables and bullfighting test shows takingplace in the many farmhouses and rural esta-tes existing around La Baha.

Since ancient times, the bull has had a spe-

cial and deep meaning in the region. In thecountryside, beauti ful specimens of fightingbulls belonging to famous cattle ranches grazefreely in meadows that stretch as far as theeye can see. Its presence in the most repre-sentative celebrations is guaranteed, espe-cially at the fairs.

Among the most prestigious bullfightingrings, whether for its architecture or for its tra-dition and cultural status stands that of Puertode Santa Maria (where the famous FeriaTaurina is held during the summer), or that ofJerez de la Frontera , which features an impor-tant schedule of events during the Feria delCaballo.

ROYAL ANDALUSIANSCHOOL OF EQUESTRIAN ART.Based in Jerez de laFrontera, it is host to theEquestrian Fantasy show,held in the unique setting ofthe Recreo de las Cadenaspalace, built by the famousarchitect Garnier. It offers anauthentic equestrian ballet,in which the rider, the horseand music blend in order tocreate a magical show.

Baha de Cdiz - 21

The Baha de Cdiz is one of the areas inAndalusia in which the equestr ian tradit ionhas been carefully preserved and shows itsstronger presence. Although references tothis magnificent animal date back to theTartesian period (3,00 0 years ago), i t is notunti l the establ ishment of the Carthusianmonastery in Jerez de la Frontera during the15 th century that a true milestone in the his-tory of the Cadiz horse is set.

For centuries, the monks bred horses usingmagnificent stallions that grazed in the AltoCielo meadows, and due to this careful selec-t ion, the famous Carthusian-Bred horses wereborn. The Herd of Carthusian Mares Hierrodel Bocado , located in a distinctive landscapein the Dehesa de la Fuente meadow very closeto La Cartuja Monastery, is the largest andmain reserve of Carthusian horses in t he world.

Jerez de la Fronte ra could rise to the statusof Spanish capital of the horse due to thenumerous owners of horse ranches and herdsof mares enthused in horse breeding and purerace selection, as well as to the many celebra-

tions in which the horse has an undeniable lea-ding role, i.e. the Feria de l Caballo , declared ofInternational Tourist Interest , the MainEquestrian Parade and the Ancades Internatio-nal Equestrian Jump cont est held with t he occa-sion of the Fiestas de Otoo (Autumn celebra-tions). Its equestrian tradition and experiencein organising all type of equestrian events was

separate the new city (built on land taken fromthe sea) from the old city. The former was deve-loped along a large avenue and its wide andlively seafront promenade. The historical citycentre, with narrow streets, small squares andpopular quarters such as La Via (the fishermenquarter), the Mentidero, Santa Mara (a truebastion of flamenco singing) and the Ppulo.

The Cathedral (which can be seen from thesea), and in particular, its majestic doom cove-red with golden tiles, fits perfectly with the flairof Cadiz colonial architecture. The Cathedralcombines Baroque and neoclassic styles, andits crypt contains the remains of the universallyfamous m usician Manuel de Falla . Its treasure

is of the most important in Spain.

Standing in the eastern tip of the Bay bearingits name, on an area that could be described ashalf-island/ half-peninsula, the " Tacita de Plata"as it is known is considered the oldest city in thewestern world. The city was founded by thePhoenicians (1,100 BC.), a predominantly sea-faring people that would make Gadir an impor-tant trade colony that would later be home toCarthaginians, Romans, Visigoths and Muslims .

From the splendorousGades

of the Romanperiod, buildings such as the Roman Theatrestill stand in a good state of preservation (1stcentury BC) in the Ppulo quarter. Built underthe direction of the Cadiz-based Roman Balbofamily, it was discovered in 198 0 and conside-red since as one of the largest buildings of thiskind in Spain.

Due to being a cosmopolitan and open city,point of entry for many trends arriving from boththe Far East and Western Europe, Columbuschose its port as point of departure for hissecond voyage to the New World. The city willbecome, after the decline of the Port of Seville,the main Port of the Indies, absorbing the bulk

of the commercial exchanges with t he Americas.

A FORTIFIED CITY. Theintense t rade exchangedwith the Indies would appealto the greed of pirates,hence making the fortifi-cation of the city necessary.The remains of the originalalthough rebuilt crossfiredefensive system designedby Vauban make up animportant part of Cadiz richheritage. The Puertas deTierra, gates to the city,keep on both s ides, pain-tings of fortified walls andsmall bastions such asthose of San Roque andSanta Elena. A stroll by theCampo del Sur makes itpossible to have a closerview at the defensive works

of Los Mrtires andCapuchinos, next to LaCaleta beach, the laterbeing flanked on both sidesby the San Sebastin andSanta Catalina Castles.Heading in the direction ofthe Apodaca Poplar Avenue,reveals the irregular outlineof the Candelaria Bastionand the San Carlos Walls.

The San Antonio square, in the Mentideroquarter was for many years the focal point of thecity. Towered over by the Baroque church bearingits name, the magnificent palaces around thissquare confer to it a unique majestic flair. Not faraway stands the Carmen Church, with its steeplesheavily decorated according to the Indiano s tyle,and the San Francisco Convent Church.

Also popular is the Mina Square, whereManuel de Falla was born, flanked by beautifulpalace-houses an d seat of t he Museum of Cadiz.Its archaeological section includes importantPhoenician relics such as the male sarcophagus

discovered in 1887 , and a female equivalent thatis perhaps even more impressive not just becauseof the refinement and detailed craftsmanship butdue to the serenity and solemnity of the immor-talized character. The paintings present in theFine Arts gallery (Zurbarn, Murillo, Rubens, VanDick, the Espaoleto...) make up one of t he mostimportant art collections in the country. TheEthnography section includes Los Tteres de laTa Norica , an interesting sample of the localpopular craft of the last centuries.

THE OLD CATHEDRAL.Built on the land where anold mosque previouslystood, the Santa CruzChurch (13 th century) wasCadiz Cathedral until 1838,

known presently by thelocals as the Old Cathedral.Worthy of note is the altar-piece of its main altar andthe Genovese Chapel.

It is theperfect place to taste the typical mackerel with piriaca (finely cut tomatoes, green peppers,onions), and embraces the sea at La Caleta,the most representative beach of the city that

stretches over 3 km of coastl ine (Santa Maradel mar, Cortadura, and La Victoria).

Carnivals, dec la red of International TouristInterest, are the main celebrations in the city. Thewhole city dresses up and gets onto the streets toenjoy the lively atm osphere, laughter and franticbinge that characterises this celebration in a midstof choirs, troupes of musicians and singers knownas chirigotas and comparsas playing parodiesand criticising in a satirical way all the eventstaking place t hroughout the year. These are unriva-lled parodies, in which the local humour is at itsbest and uses a bold, shameless and satiricaltone unlikely to be found anywhere else in theworld. During those days, the city is filled with visi-

tors coming to mingle and participate in the enter-tainment with the locals. The Grand Falla Theatreis the setting for the Carnival competitions.

Zorrilla Stree t is the tapa bar street par exce-llence. It leads up to the wonderful viewpointonto the sea comprised by the Apodaca PoplarGardens, with its century old Ficus trees, andconsidered as one of the m ain green spaces ofthe city together with the Genovs Park.

Next to the Port of Cadiz, dealing with com-mercial traffic in addition to being a commonport of call for pleasure cruisers sailing between

Located between beaches, sal tworks andpine forests, Chiclana is today a first class tou-rist attraction. The town was founded in 1 30 3 byAlfonso Prez de Guzmn , and later in the 18thcentury, it would experience a huge f inancialgrowth becoming quickly associated with theintense commercial and trading activity of LaBaha. Said prosperity would leave a strong

imprint in local archi-tecture, as many ma-nor houses with beau-tiful Baroque facadessuch as that of theConde del Pinar wouldbe constructed duringthat period.

The religious building heritage mainly inclu-des the neoclassic San Juan BautistaParochial Church, t he Jesus Nazareno Church,San Telmo Church, and the Shrine of SantaAna . Also of special interest is the Clock Tower ,which dates from the 18th century.

The wine industry that has traditionally sus-tained the towns economy (with excellent

wines holding denominations of origin such asJerez-Xerez-Sherry and Manzanilla deSanlcar), has gradually made room for thetourist sector to blossom, with a spectaculargrowth registered in recent years. This boom isa response to the many assets held by themunicipality (highly appealing natural surroun-dings and magnificent beaches), all of whichhave contributed to the flourishing of luxurious

housing estates such as that of Novo deSancti Petri, with its marina and wonderful golfcourses.

Chiclana features beaches for all tastes, ran-ging from typical family beaches such as LaBarrosa (with its wide seafront promenade andall kind of facilities) to much quieter and natu-ral ones, e.g. El Puerco (protected by small

c li ffs), and Punta de

Piedra. The Beach ofSancti-Petri is idealfor practising windsur-fing, especia lly nearthe fishing port, wherespectacular windcurrents usually form.

A busy nightlife is guaranteed in the city andthe housing estates near the beach due to thehigh number of leisure and entertainment faci-lities available. There are also many restau-rants and chiringuitos (beach bars) in thearea where one can enjoy fish and seafood dis-hes accompanied by a nice glass of wine.

HEALTH TOURISM . TheFuente Amarga Spa has

been in service since1803 , and i t is consideredas one of the main naturalhealth centres existing inSpain. In addition to theusual treatments for pain,rheumatism, respiratoryand sk in problems, the spaprovides an excellent rela-xation therapy and wonder-ful beauty treatments.Everything is provided in anatural way, with its charac-teristics sulphur-rich watersand a supervising medicalteam that advises on thebest way to benefit fromthese waters.

SANCTI PETRI ISLAND.This island is the only spotthat remains from the sou-thern tip of what once wasthe major island of Cadiz,and upon which once stoodthe famous Cadiz temple ofHercules, built in honour ofthe Phoenician God Melkart,for whom the Roman empe-rors showed a special devo-tion and granted many privi-leges. At present, just theruins of an old castle exist.

although it is in the 20th century that, thanks tothe wine trade, it acquired its present appearan-ce. Even more fascinating are some of the beau-tiful palaces built mainly in a Baroque style suchas the Vizarrn Palace-House (Casa de lasCadenas), Reinoso Mendoza Palace-House(Town Hall), Aranibar Palace-House, ValdiviesoPalace-House, Purullenas Palace, and theVarelas House...

The religious building heritage also benefitedfrom this financial prosperity, with the construc-tion of temples such as San Francisco Churchand many other convents (La Concepcin,Espritu Santo, Santo Domingo...). Belonging toits civil architecture it is worth mentioning theLonja (fish market), San Juan de Dios Hospitaland the Galeras Fount ain.

Must-see attractions are its famous bode-gas (wine cellars), in which age the wine used toaccompany succulent fish and seafood dishes intypical places such as the Ribera del Marisco,with its numerous terraces and cocederos (res-taurants with seafood boiling facilities).

El Puerto stands out as the focal leisure pointof the Bay. It is busy all year round, although itreaches its best during the summer. Its beaches(Levante-Los Toruos, Valdelagrana, La Puntilla,Caleta de Agua, Santa Catalina and Fuentebra-va) are ideal to practise nautical activities. Itsmodern sport facilities and wide selection of lei-sure, entertainment places and restaurants,make it a first class tourist destination.

EL VAPORCITO steam-boat . Close to the Riberadel Mar isco, i t is possibleto board the traditionalvaporcito steamboat inorder to spend the day inCadiz. S ince 1929, the f i rs tAdriano (presently is theAdriano III) cruised backand forth between Puertode Santa Maria and Cadiz.During the journey, it will bepossible to enjoy magnifi-cent views of La Baha,beaches, mar inas, andcoastal villages. There arealso night cruising sailingalong La Baha.

Located on the mouth of the Guadalete River(right on the Baha de Cdiz ), Puerto de SantaMaria is a bright and open town, nicely enhancedby the beauty of its central area, now declared aHistorical Site.

It is the birthplace of important writers suchas Alberti or Muoz Seca, and the rich historicalheritage of the town is immense. The archaeolo-gical remains found at the Doa Blanca settle-ment (10 th to 3rd century BC), provide evidenceof its antiquity and are exhibited next to vestigesfrom other cultures in the Municipal Museum .

One of its more representative buildings is theSan Marcos Castle (10th to 14 th century), origi-nally an Arab mosque but which has undergonemultiple transformations until being turned intothe beautiful stronghold standing today. TheVictoria M onastery and the Mayor Prioral Church(both of Gothic architecture) were built during the15th century.

Throughout the Middle Age, the town enjoyeda progressive seafaring growth, thus the remar-kable contribution of its sailors in the DiscoveryVoyages and Conquest of America is not surpri-

sing. Even Christopher Columbus resided forsome time at the Medinaceli Ducal Palace.Indeed, it was in this town where the "SantaMara" caravel was equipped and where the sai-lor Juan de la Cosa drew on 15 00 the first worldatlas that included American land.

It is during the 18th century that the town rea-ched its maximum splendour. It became knownas the " Town of the one hundred Palaces" ,

RAFAEL ALBERTI. Thelate poet was one of thecentral characters of the so-called 1 927 Generation thathelped establish a newGolden Age in SpanishLiterature. His NeopopularStyle was very close to thatemployed by Federico GarcaLorca. He was tipped inseveral occasions for NobelPrize for Literature and diedin 199 9 having obtained therecognition of both thepublic and critics for poetrythat reached to all thelayers of the society. Alberticonsidered himself agrounded sailor in love withthe sea.

El Puerto de Santa Mara


18/27

Located in fertile countryside between the high-lands and the sea, there are only a few places inSpain that enjoy such an international popularityas Jerez. Thanks to its wine (known as "Jerez" or"Sherry"), equestrian and bullfighting tradition, fla-menco and motor sport, the name of thisAndalusian city managed to cross borders longtime ago.

To its grounds arrived the Phoenicians 3,000years ago and founded a settlement known asXera. The city would be later called Ceret underRoman dominance, and Sheres or Xeres when itbecame an Arab stronghold. The King Alphonse Xthe Wise would finally integrated the town to theCrown of Castile in 1248. Ever since it has beenknown as Jerez de la Frontera, acquiring a high rele-vance since the Catholic Kings period, when thetrade of its famous wines with the English began.

The imprint left by the Muslims in the city(Alcazar Monum ental Complex, Mosque and ArabBaths, Andalus urban-planning style, and walledenclosure), would be quickly followed by theChristians who would build churches and conventsto rest ate t heir victory. The Cartuja de Santa Mara

de la Defensin de Jerez (Building of CulturalSignificance) dates from the Mid-15th century. It isa monastery considered the most important reli-gious monument of the province.

The San Dionisio Church is one of the bestexamples of Jerez-Mudejar architecture. It has anAtalaya (watchtower) dating from the 15th cen-tury, and according to the legend, its bell tolled byitself when Alphonse X took the city. It is located in

one of the most charming small squares of Jerezknow as t he Asuncin. The Town Council, a splen-did Renaissance building, stands on its grounds.

The city shows many examples of Gothic archi-tecture such as Santiago Church (15th century),which houses the image of Nuestro Padre Jessdel Prendimiento , a sculpture depicting the arrestof Jesus in Gethsemane, and attributed to LaRoldana. A real attraction is the brotherhood para-de on Holy Wednesday marching to the sound ofhundreds gypsy tunes known as saetas. This isthe birthplace of the bulera (flamenco singingstyle), and the best performers of this art originatefrom this quarter.

Another quarter with gypsy flair is San Miguel,birthplace of Lola Flores: it is one of most upper-class in Jerez and yet highly popular. The Palaces-Houses such as the Villapans Palace make upthe particular distinctiveness of this quarter. At thecentre of the latter stands the church of the sam ename, which construction begun in the 15 th cen-tury. Although mainly of Gothic style, its facade isa good example of Baroque architecture. Of rele-vant importance is its main altarpiece, a work of

Martnez Montas and de Juan de Arce.Adding to the above, a clear example Gothic

architecture is Santo Domingo Convent Church ,partly built in a Renaissance st yle, and in whichGothic cloister with large arcs merges magnificentembroideries of stones. It is worth mentioning theSan Marcos Church, which dates from the 15thcentury and offers clear examples of Baroque andMudejar styles.

ALCZAR DE JEREZ.Perched on the highest hillof Jerez, it fulfilled a dualpurpose as residence andfortress. It is one of the fewexamples of Almohadearchitecture remaining inthe Iberian Peninsula. Withinthe fortified enclosure standthe Mosque (with its ablu-tion court, mihrab and mina-ret); later converted into theChapel of Santa Mara laReal by Alfonso X, and theArab Baths, with beautifulchandeliers in its vaults flo-oding the atmosphere withlight. In addition to theabove, the Olive TreeGarden, with ponds andfountains that perfectly

blend with the BaroquePalace of Villavicencio, builton the ruins of the originalIslamic palace, and inwhose tower visitors canview the original CmaraOscura (dark chamber).

FIESTAS DE OTOO. Duringthe autumn, the c i ty spicesitself up with beautifuldecorations and preparesto celebrate a m yriad of cul-tural and sport events inaddition to the celebrationsheld in honour to theVirgen de la Merced andSan Dionisio. Of relevantimportance are theCabalgata de la Vendimia,Pisa de la Uva, GranParada Hpica, Fiesta de laBulera, and the PoloTournament.

its buildings. Manor houses suchas that of Ponce of Leon are built,exposing its beautiful Renaissancestyle balcony, and that of PerezLuna and palaces such as that ofDomecq, Dvila, and Bertemati...

However, if what the visitor prefersis to get to know Jerez and the locals,

there is nothing better than a nice stroll throughLarga Street (the commercial and focal point ofthe city). There beats th e heart of t he city, and it ispossible to find the best shops and plentiful terra-ces where to sit and enjoy the midday sun whiletast ing a nice wine and som e of the m any deliciouslocal Tapas. Not far is t he Arenal Square (the mostrepresentative in Jerez), the Mameln, t he BancoSquare, all buzzing with life and activity. Somet hingsimilar takes place at the Plateros or RafaelRivero Square , both cosy and filled with niceterraces where one can enjoy the r ich gastro-nomy of the city.

The Feria del Caballo is held in spring. Thebeauty of its colourful lights, flamenco dresses,welcoming casetas (canvas tents), as well as thedancing, singing, and riders and carriages paradehas granted the city International TouristInterest status.

Each year, the Speed Circuit is host to theSpanish Grand Prix, a race that qualifies for theMotorcycle World Champions hip, and where thou-sands of enthusiasts meet. If what the visitorwants is to enjoy peace and calm in the nature,there is nothing better than the Zoo , which alsohouses the Botanical Garden.

THE ZAMBOMBAS ATCHRISTMAS. Jerez zam-bombas go back in timeand were originally littlemore than get-togethers withneighbours held in the tene-ment courtyards in order tosing Christmas carolsaround the fire, while thefestivity meals were beingprepared, especially thepestios (fried dough withhoney). From then on, it hasbecome increasingly popular.In tenements, flamencoclubs, Quarter associationsor even on the actual streetsof the most popular quar-ters, a bonfire is lit and theneighbours meet to sing anddance to the unique rhythms

of the local carols, accom-panying them with claps,zambombas (a drum-likemusical instrument), andplenty of anisette or brandyin order to get warmed up.The Zambombas are cele-brations opened to thepublic and are ideal for allthose wishing to share withthe Jerez people the essen-ce of its Christmas.

sculpture from the 14th century). The adjacenttower is built over the formerArab minaret.

From the 16th and 17th cen-tury onwards the city experience ahuge financial growth that mana-ges to attract the Genovese,English, Flemish, French, etc,hence boosting thetrade industry of thecity, and especiallyth e wine sector.This leaves on thecity and its inhabi-tants a very special imprint, which

reflects in the open, welcoming andstately character of Jerez people,and hence, in the character of

SAN MATEO. This quar-ter, located at the heart ofthe old Hispanic-MuslimMedina surrounds the churchafter which it is named (a per-fect example of late Gothicarchitecture of the 15th and16th centuries), and espe-cially the Market Square, siteof old zoco or Arab marketof the city, and presently theseat of the archaeologicalMuseum. This quarter stillpreserves a few good exam-ples of manor houses, amongthem t he Riquelme Palace.However, it is the intricatelayout of its streets whatleads the visitor to San LucasSquare (majestically toweredby its 14th century church ina Mudejar style with Baroquetouches), as well as to BelnSquare (where the FlamencoCity is being built), or to theSan Juan de los CaballerosChurch (dating from the 14thand 15th centuries), built in aMudejar and Gothic style.They are the oldest and histo-rically deep-rooted quar ters inJerez; there is a wonderfulatmosphere, good restau-rants and bars.

The Island of Lon (lion) received its presentname during the Independence War. It was gran-ted that title for the courage shown while defen-ding the city against the French. It is a very oldsettlement, and the presence of Phoenicians andRomans is attested by the remains preserved init s Historical Museum .
