San Fernando

San Fernando: A paradise between sea breeze and history.

Located in the heart of the Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park, San Fernando is the perfect destination to relax in the sun, enjoy the sea breeze and enjoy its varied cultural, natural and gastronomic offer.

Strolling through its streets, squares and avenues, San Fernando appears to the good observer as a real forest of white battlements, viewpoints and balconies, cornices and multiform niches in a unique and personal interpretation of living the lime and stone.

Every corner in San Fernando is witness to important historical episodes. Popularly known as ‘La Isla’, our destination has a lot to tell. Through the La Isla de las Cortes Route, you will be transported back to 1810, reliving the moments that gave rise to the First Spanish Constitution. The San Fernando and the Navy Route will take you to its rich military heritage, testimony to its deep connection with the navy. And for flamenco lovers, the Camarón de la Isla Route takes in the most significant places in the life of this world flamenco icon, from his birthplace to the Interpretation Centre that bears his name.

San Fernando also has the largest number of kilometres of trails in the Bay of Cadiz, a natural paradise where you can disconnect from the daily hustle and bustle through a fascinating landscape of marshes, salt marshes and dunes. A paradise of emotions to discover, feel, enjoy and live intensely.
