The school is located in Sanlucar de Barrameda. It is a delightful town, situated at the northern tip of the sherry triangle (the other two points being Jerez and El Puerto de Santa Maria), located on the Guadalquivir river estuary. The speciality tipple here is the distinctive manzanilla wine, which acquires its dry, slightly salty tang from the seaside environment and the moist poniente wind. The town is equally famed for its excellent seafood, for which manzanilla is (coincidentally!) the ideal accompaniment.
Columbus set sail from Sanlucar in 1498 and, a few decades later, the Portuguese, Ferdinand Magallan set off to circumnavigate the globe from here, in search of a westerly route to the spice islands of Indonesia. Unfortunately, he was killed by local Indians in the Philippines.
Today, the town is divided into the older quarter, the Barrio Alto where most of the interesting sights can be seen and the newer Barrio Bajo, closer to the river. The beaches at Sanlucar are also magnificent and stretch several kilometres to the south-west, while the former port and fishing quarter, the Bajo de Guía, is where some of the local seafood restaurants can be found.
