El Puerto de Santa María looks out across the Atlantic Ocean
from the Bay of Cadiz. Located on the Costa de la Luz (The Coast
of Light) in southern Spain, El Puerto is blessed with 300 days
of sunshine a year. This Mediterranean climate, plus the city’s
miles of gorgeous golden-sand beaches make El Puerto the ideal
place for visitors, students, and locals alike. El Puerto has
been a strategic port for thousands of years, dating as far
back as the Phonecians and still bustles with activity.
The most famous historical building in town is the historic
San Marcos castle, built on an ancient Moorish mosque, and displaying
Spanish, Arab and Gothic styles. El Puerto is also famous for
its food and wine. You can spend time on the Ribera del Marisco
enjoying the town’s renowned Andalusian seafood, or in the “Sherry
Triangle,” where the world’s most famous sweet wine is made.
El Puerto’s intimate city life, historical significance, and
ideal weather make it the perfect place for those who want to
learn Spanish near the beach in a classic Spanish city.
