Trips from Jerez
Zahara de los Atunes: tuna heritage and Atlantic beach
A fishing-village day around the old Chanca, a wide beach and the route towards Atlanterra.
Zahara de los Atunes is shaped by the almadraba tuna tradition. Its beach, old Chanca and lively summer streets offer a very different experience from mountain Zahara de la Sierra.
Atlanterra continues along the coast but is in Tarifa municipality; Bolonia is not reached by continuing directly along the shore.
How to get there and transfer fares
Plan your trip from Jerez around your available time, luggage and exact drop-off point.
Taxi or private transfer
Pickup at your hotel, an address in Jerez or Jerez Airport (XRY), with drop-off at your chosen point. Ask about stops before booking a multi-stop route.
Suggested drop-off points: Zahara de los Atunes village centre or Atlanterra.
Public transport
Compare train and bus times, return services and the last leg from the stop to the attraction. Check that last leg carefully for beaches and coves.
For a beach, cove or outlying village, specify the exact access point: it may be far from the town centre.
