La marinera, beautiful apartment with terrace, near the beach

This beautiful flat is located in the old town of Barbate, on a pedestrian street lined with flower pots and flowers. It is situated on the first floor of a typical family home with access via a private alleyway.



La Marinera is a contemporary-style property, airy and bright. It features an open-plan kitchen leading to the dining and living area, which opens onto a sunny terrace equipped with sun loungers and outdoor furniture. This is a perfect space for sunbathing, enjoying a good breakfast, or dining al fresco on Barbate evenings.



The flat has a double bedroom with a 150 cm bed, a large window overlooking the street, a built-in wardrobe, and a spacious en-suite bathroom, also with an exterior view. It is very well equipped with kitchenware, bed linen, and towels. Amenities include free internet, air conditioning, Smart TV, mosquito nets on the windows, and ceiling fans in all rooms. A parasol and beach chairs are also provided.



La Marinera is very close to the river and only a five-minute walk from the Virgen del Carmen beach on the seafront promenade. Past the fishing port and the marina, you will find another beach, La Hierbabuena, a beautiful wild beach near the cliffs where you can surf.



Barbate is located in a magical and privileged enclave where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet at the mouth of the Strait of Gibraltar between two continents. On clear days, you can see the blue mountains of Morocco and at sunset, the lights of Tangier appear opposite the beach. It is a town of seafarers with a rich history based on tuna fishing using the ancient technique of Almadraba. Barbate is a cheerful, open town with deep roots in flamenco singing and dancing, passionately caring for its festivals and traditions.



Tuna is the star of Barbate’s cuisine, but there is also a wide variety of fish, seafood, Retinto beef, organic veal from La Janda, and excellent quality local cured meats and cheeses. There is a wide variety of tapas bars and restaurants within walking distance. The real gastronomic experience is shopping at the small market and cooking fresh produce at home. The market offers meat, fish, seasonal vegetables, pastries, and spices of the highest quality.



From Barbate, you can go hiking or cycling along the river through Las Marismas Natural Park, explore the pine forests of La Breña Natural Park, and stroll along its beaches. Seven kilometres away is Caños de Meca, perfect for watching beautiful sunsets behind the Trafalgar lighthouse. The lively village of Zahara de los Atunes is the same distance away. The picturesque white village of Vejer de la Frontera is located above, behind the cliffs, and on the nearby coast are Conil, El Palmar, and Bolonia with their impressive Roman ruins and the museum of Baelo Claudia. It is worth spending a day visiting the provincial capital, Cadiz.



These towns have an immense natural and cultural heritage, shaped by Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, and Visigoths, maintaining a rich blend of cultures and traditions. In summer, the coast is filled with lights and music, with numerous flamenco concerts and jazz festivals, as well as magical events such as La Velá de Barbate and Vejer, with their narrow streets lit by candles. All these towns are connected by the Eurovelo 8 cycle route, which begins in Cádiz and ends in Cyprus.



The nearest airport is Jerez de la Frontera, 80 km away. Gibraltar Airport is 91 km away. Seville Airport is 167 km away, and Malaga Airport is 198 km away. From these towns, you can take buses to Barbate, or travel from Cádiz, which has daily bus connections. The best way to explore the coast and surrounding area is by car, though this is not essential.



We hope you have a wonderful time!
