Places of Interest

We recommend the following options because they are closest to us and are very interesting to see:

Barbate and Zahara de los Atunes

Los Caños de Meca and Zahara de Los Atunes are smaller villages that belong to the municipal area of Barbate.

This sea-faring town is famous above all for its Almadraba, the ancient fishing technique used for capturing wild tuna. To experience this traditional fishing method it is highly recommendable to try out La Ruta de La Almadraba where you actually go out on a boat and visit the almadraba at Barbate or Zahara de Los Atunes. Afterwards you have to try out the gastronomic possibilities of this and other products from our seas.

The pine forests and the beautiful beaches, the cliffs and the salt marsh set these places apart.

Another place worth a visit is the old Fish warehouse which has been converted into a cultural centre, a food market and the Interpretation Centre on tuna fishing as well as housing the Tourist Information Office for La Breña National Park.

Zahara de los Atunes is another tourist town surrounded by massive beaches and has a lively atmosphere in summer.

In May both Barbate and Zahara celebrate their now famous Ruta del Atun, this is the best way to try out this exquisite product in all its different forms, people now call it the Iberico from the sea, due to it being a delicacy.
