| Barbate is just along the coast from Caños de Meca, if you are entering along the costal road (CA-2143) from Caños, you drive through the beautiful natural park de la Breña. From the beautiful golden sands of Hierbabuena beach, the pine forest makes a quite wonderful backdrop with its blanket of deep green firs and the contrasts in the distinct colours all around you on a bright sunny day are truly amazing. The port of Albufera is mainly a working one but does also have private sailing vessels passing in and out of its small harbour. Del Carmen beach starts from the port, stretching along the front of the main town to the mouth of the river Barbate and the salt marshes. Barbate is best known for it’s catching of Tuna with its special type of nets, called Almadrabas that date back to the Phoenicians. The nets have changed over the centuries but still work on the same principal. The tuna enter the waters of the coast around May to June looking for the warmer waters of the Mediterranean. The tuna, when caught, are dried naturally in salt and sun, which takes about a month. Tuna is not the only fish dish on the menus of the many bars and restaurants in town, so try as many varieties as you can; they come personally, highly recommended. The town itself is very much a working town but the local council is also working hard at attracting a slice of the tourist market. There are bargains to be had in and around the town and with most of the town being not very far from the beach, prices are very reasonable. |
