Puerto de Santa Maria Travel Guide

Puerto de Santa Maria is a traditional family resort for the locals. The beach is pleasant, with a pleasant, very reasonable bar. The town is known for its sherry bodegas, warehouses where they store sherry (from Jerez). If you call ahead, you may be able to negotiate a tasting tour. Call the Tourismo in Puerto (956/542413) or in Cadiz to arrange a tour. There is a ferry from Cadiz, which is more pleasant and quicker than bus. There are wonderful seafood restaurants in the main square near the water.
