The name of this town that is located between Barbate and Bolonia comes from the tuna fishing. It was one of the most important traps in Andalusia. Almadraba is a traditional method of fishing that comes from Roman times.

La Breña and Barbate Marshes Natural Park

It is a gift to find a green sea on the coast of Barbate. The shadows of the pine forest along with the views of the cliffs are wonderful.
