Sanlúcar de Guadiana
This picturesque border town situated on the banks of the River Guadiana is just 20 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean. One of Spain's pueblos blancos, steeped in history with it's castle dating back to the twelfth century, the port of Sanlucar de Guadiana gained prominence in the first half of the nineteenth century when it was used as a base to export such crops as rice, soap, lead and wood. Now, however, the only boats to be seen are those of visiting yachtsmen and the local fishermen who live in the village.
The surrounding areas are renowned for their now dormant mines and the Rio Tinto mines are reputed to be the oldest mines in the world. According to myth, these are the fabled mines of King Solomon.
The village has two general stores, a bakers, post office and four bar/restaurants and with an average meal out costing around 6 euros per person, you are sure to be delighted with this taste of old Spain.
With Portugal's Alcoutim just a minute's ferry ride across the river, you are able to enjoy two cultures in two different time zones. New Year's Eve can be celebrated twice  in this unique location! There is also a man made beach and swimming area.
Car hire is recommended to get the most out of this area.
