House location

Standing on a hilltop is the ancient town of Medina Sidonia one of the areas many  'pueblos blancos' and dates back to the 15th century. Its most famous family would be the Dukes of Medina Sidonia who lead the Spanish Armada, although they apparently were not too keen on water. The ancient city wall is still standing and is a well known landmark in Medina Sidonia.  The old Parish Church in the small square high above the town provides fabulous views from its bell tower of the surrounding countryside as far as Cadiz and Tarifa. With its cobbled streets and the white washed buildings you are transported back in time to the days when the  Moors ruled this area of Spain.  The fabulous beach of La Barrosa, one of the most popular on the Costa de la Luz is only a 30 minute drive.

Accessibility

The house is readily accessible by road and is on a level street.  There is ample parking outside and the large terrace can also be used.
