 Barbate is a small fishing
port city located in the province of Cádiz on the Costa
de la Luz, about 27 miles north of Tarifa. This modern town has
grown up around a fishing industry dating back to Roman times
when the fish-salting industry was at its peak. One of the towns
major industries today is tuna fishing and its local cuisine
is mainly based on the produce of the sea with cuttlefish, squid,
tuna, sole, dogfish and bream. Barbate has a wonderful "promenade"
where you can stroll for almost 2 km from the River Barbate to
the Marina. The town's main beach, the Playa del Carmen, is very
popular while beaches under the cliffs to the north of the fishing
port and the Marina are virtually deserted. Barbate has two ports,
the yachting harbour and the fishing port, and is famous as the
site of the battle of Trafalgar. |
