The castle is certainly not as imposing as some we have visited in the area, but it offers a warm welcome at reception., some interesting history and a small museum of costumes and arms. Well worth a look if you're in town

Beautiful castle in Sanlúcar with interesting history. It costs about €8-€9 per person and they give you the handheld “tour guide” to use while you’re there. You’re prompted by signage to press the applicable number for the area you are walking through and the guide tells you all about it. We went around noon and there was only a few other people there, however parking was still difficult, so I imagine the earlier you get there, the better. My favorite part was the view from the top of the lord’s tower and the mermaid door.

Starbucks mermaid gate was interesting. Rooftop offered an actual view of the winding river.

Super awesome castle that's a must see while in town. There is an audio guide link you can scan and listen to as you walk around. From here a few minutes drive to the beach to see Baluarte San Salvador and the beautiful sunset. Hopefully the city will clean up the Baluarte San Salvador area and preserve the historical significance of it.

Excellent tour! Be sure to bring ear buds so you don't have to blast your phone speaker.

From the outside and at the entrance we weren't expecting much but this is a great castle to explore! Lots of rooms with interesting maps! Make sure to climb the tower!

Great castle, and if you get to find the secret room you will see the plans when they aim to finish in 2036. Will be 5 star luxury for the wealthy folk like me!

Well looked after by tour hostess, Erin. Make sure you book & are on time! I bought and have since tried the 'Nave Trinidad' manzanilla (pictured)- just outstanding. The walk up the hill is really worthwhile

The main manzanilla producer in Sanlucar. It definitely worths a visit. I recommend trying out different kinds of manzanilla. The tour was also great!

It's been on my bucket list to take a pilgrimage to this iconic bodegas. Was thoroughly impressed beyond even what I could imagine w my tour w Erin. She had such a deep passion for sherry and was so knowledgeable about the bodegas, the entire process of making sherry and did the most amazing structured tasting I've had. Highly recommend the Reliquia tasting, which was a real treat. It's very rare that you get a chance to taste such rare sherries with an average age of 150 yrs. Visiting helps you understand how the soul of Spanish wine can be passed down so many generations.

Excellent tours and nice sellers. When they saw that I had by accident booked for the wrong date, they made no fuss and changed it for the current date. The tour was sold as only in Spanish, but the lovely guide Sandy made the effort explain everything in two languages. Highly recommended.

Big recommendation! We had a great tour in a beautiful bodega with a competent and lovely guide. Thank you very much, Moíses !

Visit to bodegas barbadillo to have the biologically aged wines tour with Erin and it was such a fantastic experience. The passion and care for sherry wines and in particular manzanilla, a specialty wine of the area/bodega really shone through. It was great to visit the bodega and learn more and the sherry making process, the history of it before heading off to have some tastings. On this tour you really get to experience a full range of biologically aged wines and the subtle difference that a wine can have, for example, depending on its location, age and even the type of wind most present in the bodega in which it is being aged. All of this being explained and curated by Erin, who did a fantastic job of talking us through the wines whilst also managing another group and just generally being fun and passionate about sherry - so thank you very much, we will definitely be recommending this tour to others.

Catherine is a wonderful tour guide! She is very knowledgeable and friendly. She made our group feel welcomed and comfortable by personally speaking with each of us during the tasting and making sure that we understood each step in the production process. I would recommend her tour to everyone!

Get there early to get a place at the bar. No need to reserve at the restaurant to have amazing food. We will go back for the ova and the buñuelos! The prices for the fried fish are really good for the quantity and quality. My wife loved the cazuela and it was so filling!

You can tell how good this place is by the queue for the unbookable outside tapas tables. They get claimed well before the place even opens. We booked ahead and ate in the restaurant. Food was exceptional and service also spot on. Not to be missed if you are in Sanlucar.

Great seafood/produce. We had tomato salad with fresh tuna, the famous Sanlucar shrimp (boiled and eaten cold), mixed fried seafood, and yogurt ice cream. Simple and satisfying.

We sat at the bar and ordered mostly fish tapas as the restaurant was fully booked. We were in Andalucia for 10 days and this was probably the best food we had with amazing value for money. Everything we had was very tasty and the price was almost unbelievably low. 100% recommended.

Very good food. Quality ingredients and produce. Very fine olive oil, and seafood. We repeated on the same trip twice. Try the Cod Burgers, langostinos and Corvina.

The food was incredible. The quality and freshness of the seafood was superb. The service was quick and friendly. And the view is great over the beach and water. We really loved it. Come on time, to avoid waiting lines.

We ate at the outdoor bar, was casual but great. Next time, we will eat at the fine dining, indoor, one bldg.over, reservation required for lunch and dinner.

The food was delicious, had lunch on a Friday and needed to join a short line but it was worth the wait. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere in the square was hopping. Make sure to try the tortillas de camerones ❤️

I've been visiting Casa Balbino every year when I visit from abroad. The quality of food is always first class, delicious tapas, both hot and cold. Everything fresh and totally traditional to the region. Tables in the main square are a hot commodity so often there's a wait. Try to get there early if you can! There are also tables on the side alley - less nice but if you visit mainly for good food, won't matter much where you sit. One time we had less than pleasant experience when we visited with my elderly suegra. She walked with a rollator, we were 5 people but got seated in a small table for 4 in the alley, despite bigger tables being available there. Granted, it was rush hours so possibly they were keeping larger table in case a bigger group comes. At the end there wasn't any bigger group so a couple got seated at a large table while we were squished at a 4 person table, being 5 people plus a walker. Aside from that little hiccup, love this place. Best tortillas de camarones around!

The food have been amazing, the service have been fast, the taste of all the dishes have been incredible. The most delicious dish at least for my was Gambas al ajillo Maybe the service need to be more discreet when talk with between them but in general have been amazing.

Very nice Tortilla de Camarones! Worth for that. For sitting down we had to wait but it goes fast. Service was a bit slow but they were swamped.

Join the queue and it will worth waiting! It’s located in a lovely corner of the Plaza. It’s definitely a true tapas experience. Everything was tasty and the value/quality is just top! I loveeeeeeed the clams in sherry sauce and the stuffed aubergine with shrimps! Would love to come back!

Went for lunch. The restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived. Got seated right away. Waiter gave us a menu card, asked what we wanted to drink then disappeared. 10 mins later, another waiter brought us 2 riojas when we'd asked for verdejo. About 10 mins later we got our drinks. We noticed that several tables had been seated after us. Another 15 mins passed and I started asking wait staff to take our order. They each said they'd send our waiter. He passed by several times and kept saying he'd be right with us. All the while he was taking lunch orders from tables that had been seated after us and bringing them food. Finally I was able to get him to stop and talk to me. I admit I was angry at that point. I pointed out to him that 2 tables were already eating their lunch while we hadn't even been given a chance to order. He got verbally combative with me, said that those tables had flagged him down and said we should have done the same. Idiot. I wasn't going to argue with him anymore, I asked him for a complaint form. He pretended not to know what I was talking about. I asked for our wine bill which was 6€. Paid the bill and left. We were there for almost an hour. I will never go back to this awful place.

We went at the recommendation of Jose Andres like most Americans. I was skeptical because of what a scene it is, but we had a great experience. The tortillas de camarones were the draw, and they were good but the gambas y berenjena were next level, as were the adobo. Be bold and order past the usuals here! Staff was fast but lovely.

Although the weather wasn’t good, but still plenty of people. The food was excellent from the Russian salad to the chocolate mouse and the service was fantastic very friendly and guided me to the nearest ramp access. Thank you. By the way not cheap.

Mirado Donana Restaurant offers a prime location that steals the spotlight – right in front of a mesmerizing sunset sea view. The captivating setting alone is worth a visit. The food and service both fall under the 'okay' category, leaving room for improvement. Perhaps it's the sea breeze that adds a unique touch to the experience. It's worth noting that dinner starting at 9:00 pm offers a chance to embrace a leisurely evening. With the breathtaking sunset as a backdrop, Mirado Donana is a spot where nature's beauty takes center stage. A solid 3.5 stars for its exceptional location and the promise of better things to come.

One star because of the attempted swindling of customers. 70% of the food was okay but several dishes had to be sent back due to being too salty. Im short we received the bill and noticed that we had been charged for 1.5kg Urta instead of 800grams. We brought this to the attention of the waiter and requested to speak to the manager. The waiter returned almost ten minutes later and stated that he mistakenly charged us food from another table. The waiters actions seemed rehearsed.

Scappate! Ladri assoluti. Menu senza prezzo, due gamberoni 51 euro. Da denuncia se non fosse che era a cena ed era tardi. State alla larga. Stay away! Absolute thieves. They Don’t have the price on the menu and Let us pay 51 euros for 2 prawns. We should have called the police but it was late in the night and couldn’t wait. Don’t go!!!

A big disappointment. We ordered dorada fish. It didn't look good when it arrived and didn't taste good so didn't eat it. The waitress said it was cooked with olive oil. We understood that but it was like wet cottonwool. She came back and said it wasn't dorado, so they wouldn't charge us. Nobody came to apologise, and at that price they were trying to get away with dumping fish on unsuspecting 'foreigners'. We live in Spain, so beware of what you're paying for!!

The staff are absolute and utter disgraces to what is normally great Spanish hospitality. Maybe because we were not locals/spanish I'm not sure but there is no excuse to be so rude. I will never return to that place and whoever is in charge should be ashamed of themselves. Completely unacceptable and inappropriate behaviour from all. Absolutely disgusted with the whole experience. Never ever ever shall I return to that hell hole.

After some thought, I have chosen the 1 star rating to express the frustration of feeling outright scammed. The restaurant billed us for almost double the amount of fish that our table was able to eat. They surely got their extra euros from our table but they will not see me there again.

Most definitely worth it. El Espejo is a hidden gem in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. We loved every single piece of food that was on our plates tonight, and trust that they are Michelin recognized for a reason! We ordered mackerel (fish) in pea and seaweed puree, cheese board, Sea urchin mousse, grilled red shrimp, Fideua with San Lucar prawns, and Beef cheek with sweet potato puree.

Great lunch on a friday. Salmorejo was very good and the solomillo too. The tuna tartar, in my opinion, was overseasoned. Tuna quality was very good. Service also efficient professional not too stiff or formal. And the wine recommend I enjoyed a lot. The cava could have been colder. The espresso was good to finish it all off. There was no room to try the desert. Perhaps next time.

We very much enjoyed two evenings at this great restaurant, a wonderful space with tables in the courtyard and an inside space both at the front of the restaurant and to the side of the courtyard. The menu is simple, with great local produce and creative cooking. As a lover of Sherry I enjoyed some seriously good wines recommended by the guys who looked after us, including some very limited VOS and VORS wines. The wine list was packed with some super interesting local wines from the Cadiz province as well as some bargains from the classic regions of Spain. Thank you team, we will return.

Nice place with very good food, product and elaboration top level. Very good service and very nice wine pairing. I recommend it and I will be back 😊

We had the "Menu Corto" for lunch. And this one was marvelous. We were also advised by Javier to take matching Sherry wines. This made everything even a bit more spectacular.

Delicious, inventive food in a casual setting. Friendly service.

This is a beautiful restaurant in a stunning building. The food and service were fantastic. Highly recommend

Wonderful food and exceptional service. Our waiter, Francisco, was incredibly attentive, pro-active and accomodating to a group of 6 of us, including vegetarians. I've lived in Spain for almost 25 years and can honestly say that it was one of the most relaxed dining experiences, thanks to Francisco.

Absolutely fabulous! Young, super friendly and fast staff and excellent dishes and drinks for very reasonable prices. The salad with avocado and tuna was perfect. Thanks for a great lunch. We will be back!

Everything great! All the dishes that I tried had a small touch that made the sabor very nice. If you are around don't miss it

celebrated my boyfriends mothers birthday here! super nice service, the waiter was singing the birthday song and the food was very tasty! Only thing is that the volume was very loud.. Otherwise, the view was amazing 🦋

Very good location, super service, lovely and comfortable on the terrace with the air conditioning on. Good menu. Decent prices

Great location, very clean, tasteful modern decor, tip top service, modern contemporary menu, great value for money

Best quality for price I’ve had in a long time. Delicious flavors!
