Treat yourself to a holiday in Puerto Real to explore this town in the province of Cádiz whose name, meaning Royal Port, refers to the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, who founded it back in 1483. From the coast you can see Trocadero Island, which was declared a protected nature site in 1989. It spans some 1,300 acres and is essential for the local seagulls and flamingos, among other species, who use it as a breeding site. It used to be a place where ships were repaired, and there was a fort to protect the coast from enemy attacks.
