The beaches I had some good references of the beaches in Puerto de Santa Maria, and decided to make it a possible destination for my vacations with family this year. I tried hard to get a place in Valdelagrana, but, with a big family, it was impossible, pushing us further to the unknown Santa Catalina beach. It was a really good option, and the two weeks passed easily (and quickly). |
The city
The city expresses an image of history and tradition, with degraded signs of wealth in the many traditional buildings still standing. Tourism is present everywhere, but it seems to have spared the city, with the exceptions of Valdelagrana and Puerto Cherry. With Cadiz and Jerez de la Frontera only minutes away, there was no chance to get bored. Good holidays, indeed!

Las Redes beach
We booked a private villa in this beach, a little bit worried because it seemed less supported by touristic structures (it is) risking to become boring and not too practical. Wrong! The beach does not have installed the hundreds of shadows and chairs as usual in Spain, but it had enough for our needs. Furthermore, the beach, in some hours with thousands of dwellers, never looked overcrowded. The sea is calm, the water never went under 23º |
Celsius, and it is so shallow that high tide looks as low tide, and low tide provided wide football fields or playing grounds for the small children. The residential area has quality, is absolutely calm, with public transport to the centre (or other beaches).
NOTE - The general name of the beach is Santa Catalina, acquiring specific names according to the accesses - we were in Las Redes urbanization...
