Located at the banks of the Guadalete River, the town
El Puerto de Santa María, simply known as El Puerto, is an ideal destination at the Costa de la Luz. It is only ten kilometers north east of Cadiz across the bay of Cadiz and best known by the famous ferry El Vaporcito, which connects both locations. Since 76 years passengers staying in
El Puerto de Santa Maria Hotels have been travelling to Cadiz by ferry and vice versa.
Between the 24th and 28th of April, tourists staying in a
Costa de la Luz accommodation near the town can enjoy the famous Feria del Vino Fino - a spring's fair. This is the time when El Puerto will have one week of fiesta, dancing, sherry drinking and sevillana dancing.
Besides this fair, visitors of El Puerto de Santa Maria can enjoy more than three thousand hours of sunshine per year, fine sandy beaches and blue seas. Although the number of travelers to this tourist destination increases constantly, the town remains unspoilt, natural and very picturesque.
Lovers of seafood get their money´s worth, too. The Bay of Cadiz is famous for its fresh seafood and in El Puerto all the restaurants around the
El Puerto Hotels serve the best of fish and seafood. If you would like to buy seafood the Riviera del Marisco is the place to go. Fresh and tasty seafood can be bought in paper cones to take away or you can directly enjoy it there. Don't miss to go there!
