HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n During the 19th century, Sanl\u00facar became one of Spain’s most important holiday destinations thanks to its strategic location at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River and its beaches with iodine-rich waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Dukes of Montpensier boosted the city’s tourist image after establishing their summer residence there, attracting a large part of the Andalusian bourgeoisie, who also built beautiful promenades and summer villas that still grace the city today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ROUTE<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A.
