Property Listings
Medina Sidonia is an unspoilt, little known ancient
hill-top town despite its important history.
The town was one of Spain's most important ducal
seats in the 15th century; producing an admiral
who led the Armada against England. The title
of Duque de Medina Sidonia was bestowed upon
the family of Guzmán El Bueno for his
valiant role in taking the town, a line which
continues and is currently led by the controversial
socialist, Duchess of Medina Sidonia. The village
has a slightly shabby grandeur with medieval
walls and tidy narrow cobbled streets flanked
by rows of reja-fronted houses.
