Puerto Real

Puerto real is located 13 km from Cadiz city and 21 from Jerez de la Frontera on the Costa de la Luz. It is separated from the capital by a bridge over the Bay of Cadiz . The town's economy is based on the shipbuilding industry. The town's distinguishing feature from the rest of the Bay is the contrast between the seafaring life and its boats and the smell of the pine trees.

You Should not miss the Parque Natural Bahía de Cádiz, "Pinar de la Algaida", and "Paraje Natural Isla del Trocadero".

The Canteras Park is worth a visit, there you can find the Grotto of the Virgin of Lourdes, the town's Patron Saint. The park is surrounded by magnificent pine woods.

The town was founded by the Catholic Monarchs. It went through a boom period during the 18 th century until it went into downward turn in 1810 after the invasion of the French troops.
