Barbate

Tuna, market life, harbour atmosphere and one of our favourite natural beaches.

Personal note

Barbate is less polished and more local. That is exactly why we like it.

Coffee, market and local life

Start in town before moving toward beach and forest.

Beach and walk

A natural beach and a cliff walk make Barbate much more than a lunch stop.

Playa de la Hierbabuena

A little hidden, natural, calm and with cliff views.
