In addition to visiting the castle and its facilities, you can enjoy a visit to the winery, where you will enjoy a wine tasting.
Second Day
For today’s visits we will need a means of transport to get around, either by car, bicycle or public transport, it’s worth it!
Doña Blanca Archaeological Site
This centre for the interpretation and research of the Phoenician peoples of the area is in a very good state of conservation. Excavations of some huts have been found.
Castle of Doña Blanca
It consisted of a tower built during the 14th century with the function of guarding the area. However, it later became a hermitage. Its name is due to the fact that Mrs. Blanca de Borbón was trapped in this place.
Osborne Winery
Visit this winery where you can enjoy the facilities and taste some tapas.
Calita Beach
You can’t leave the city without visiting its beaches. That’s why we suggest you visit this small rocky cove, which is about 1 kilometre long. This cove is in a natural state, leaving a secluded and quiet area.
Even if you only have two days to visit this city, you will surely make the most of this visit and you will want to visit more and come back to El Puerto de Santa María.
