The municipality of Sanlúcar de Barrameda is located in the north-western part of the Cádiz province, close to the river mouth of the Guadalquivir River. On the other river bank we can look at Doñana's National Park, former private estate of the Dukes of Medina Sidonia that is one of the most important natural reserves of Europe, surrounded by a wide natural park, where a great variety of ecosystems are observed, like the Algaida pine groves and the Bonanza marshes.
With more than a one hundred fifty year status, the horse races are one of the most important attractions of the summer celebrations, largely for the singularity of the setting where they are celebrated, the Sanlúcar Beach that turns into a brilliant and natural racetrack during low tide and in the late afternoon.
