'''Puerto de Santa Maria''' is situated on the banks of the Guadalete River five miles NE of the city of [[Cadiz]].  A regular ferry service operates between the town and Cadiz.  Originally a 7th century Moorish settlement, it was renamed in 1260 on the town’s conquest by Alfonso X of Castile.  Christopher Columbus set sail from here on his second expedition to the Americas and it was here that the first map showing the New World was drawn in 1500 by Columbus’ pilot, Juan de la Cosa.  Later the town became an important centre for maritime trade and there are still a number of major sherry bodegas which can be visited in the town today.

The old town of Puerto de Santa Maria is pleasant to explore.  Several of the major sherry companies, of which the best known are Osborne and Terry, have ''bodegas'' here which can be visited. The town also has a famous bullring dating from the late 19th century which can accommodate over 15,000 spectators.  The 15th century Mayor Prioral church at the top of the town has a spectacularly carved entrance and a beautiful altarpiece made from silver from Mexico.  For most cruisers, however, the town is a peaceful base for visiting the historic city of Cadiz across the bay.  The architecture of Cadiz is mainly 18th century, with straight, narrow streets overshadowed by tall houses with wrought iron balconies.  The tourist authorities here have painted a helpful red line on the roads to guide tourists round the main sites.  These include the cathedral, an impressive edifice with dimensions similar to St Paul’s in London, which has a superb carved stone roof and decorative early 18th century choir stalls.  The Museo de Cadiz is also worth a visit; one of its main attractions is two superb Phoenician stone sarcophagi, male and female.  The Torre de Tavira, one of Cadiz’s traditional merchants’ houses equipped with watch towers to view the arrival of their ships, now houses a camera obscura which reflects a view of the whole city.  Finally, the Plaza de San Francisco is a good place for a relaxing lunch stop, surrounded by orange trees.

Puerto de Santa Maria is situated on the banks of the Guadalete River five miles NE of the city of Cadiz. A regular ferry service operates between the town and Cadiz. Originally a 7th-century Moorish settlement, it was renamed in 1260 on the town’s conquest by Alfonso X of Castile. Christopher Columbus set sail from here on his second expedition to the Americas and it was here that the first map showing the New World was drawn in 1500 by Columbus’ pilot, Juan de la Cosa. Later the town became an important centre for maritime trade and there are still a number of major sherry bodegas which can be visited in the town today.

The friendly Real Club Nautico Puerto de Santa Maria operates ten pontoons in the river which offer alongside berths to visiting yachts a short walk from the centre of town.

Tourism

The old town of Puerto de Santa Maria is pleasant to explore. Several of the major sherry companies, of which the best known are Osborne and Terry, have bodegas here which can be visited. The town also has a famous bullring dating from the late 19th century which can accommodate over 15,000 spectators. The 15th century Mayor Prioral church at the top of the town has a spectacularly carved entrance and a beautiful altarpiece made from silver from Mexico.

For most cruisers, however, the town is a peaceful base for visiting the historic city of Cadiz across the bay. The architecture of Cadiz is mainly 18th century, with straight, narrow streets overshadowed by tall houses with wrought iron balconies. The tourist authorities here have painted a helpful red line on the roads to guide tourists round the main sites. These include the cathedral, an impressive edifice with dimensions similar to St Paul’s in London, which has a superb carved stone roof and decorative early 18th century choir stalls. The Museo de Cadiz is also worth a visit; one of its main attractions is two superb Phoenician stone sarcophagi, male and female. The Torre de Tavira, one of Cadiz’s traditional merchants’ houses equipped with watch towers to view the arrival of their ships, now houses a camera obscura which reflects a view of the whole city. Finally, the Plaza de San Francisco is a good place for a relaxing lunch stop, surrounded by orange trees.
