Serviced Apartments in El Puerto de Santa María

On the south coast of Spain less than 75 miles from the Rock of Gibraltar is El Puerto de Santa María, a city of almost 90,000 people built on the banks of the Guadalete River. A famous port city just 10 km from the historical city of Cádiz, it is from here Columbus set sail on his second voyage of discovery to the Americas. Nowadays, tourists staying in El Puerto de Santa María holiday apartments for its attractive beaches, bullfighting and wine industry.

Of course, bullfighting is certainly not to everybody's taste and despite the questionable morality of the spectacle, the city's Plaza de toros de El Puerto bullfighting ring is still an attractive landmark. It is actually one of the largest in the country with a capacity of about 15,000 people. With its unusual architectural style, the arena is still worth a visit from your El Puerto de Santa María holiday rental even if you do not wish to witness for yourself any of the events held there.

There are a whole host of historical religious monuments in the city, the most famous of which is the Priory Church or Iglesia Mayor Prioral. The 15th century church is built in both Gothic, and later Baroque style, due to a 17th-century earthquake. The church is found very close to many El Puerto de Santa María city centre (center) apartments due to its position on one side of the Plaza España, right in the middle of the city. On the other side of the square is the excellent Museo Arqueológico Municipal (Archaeological Museum), itself a fantastic tourist attraction.

One of the largest and most impressive landmarks of the city is the Castle of San Marcos; a mediaeval castle built on the site of a previous mosque, after the Moors have been repelled from country. As with much of Spain, you'll find that much of the most notable architecture is influenced by the Roman Catholic Church, and especially religious monuments built after the Reconquista; the reconquering of the country from Moorish occupiers in the late 15th century. The castle is also reached easily from holiday rentals in Puerto de Santa María.

Visiting the city's beaches from your Puerto de Santa María aparthotel is a simple affair either on foot or by using local transport. You'll find the beaches are clean and quite spacious and have a beautiful view across the bay to the city of Cádiz.
