Medina Sidonia

A rose by any other name smells just as sweet…

Medina was formerly called “Asido Caesarina”, seat of Dukes in the 15th century. It was from here where Guzman El Bueno came from. Bueno was the fearless admiral who directed the Armada in revolt against England. When he was conferred with the title, historical opulence of Medina had begun.

Today, known as Medina Sidonia, it is an imposing view on top of the hill. Known as “white village on the hilltop” or Pueblo Blanco, it is very near Jerez and the pristine beaches of Costa de la Luz. With its strategic location between a beautiful city (Jerez) and beautiful beaches, it is one of the must-see tourist destinations in Andalucia.

The grandeur of its past continues to live on to the present. Though not as big and popular as with other towns, tourists still beat the paths to its door because of the town’s distinct mark in the history of Andalucia.

Medina Sidonia is located on top of the hill, en route to the White Villages. Also a white village, with all its beautiful patios and arches, it overlooks the beautiful beaches of Costa de la Luz and the rugged mountains of two natural parks: Grazalema and Alcornocales.
