VH-KDK Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Orbx Content: True Earth EU Spain South Sitting on the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, Sanlucar de Marrameda is a popular summer tourist destination. Opposite is the Donana National Park. There has been a settlement here since ancient times and in the 15th and 16th centuries many expeditions left the port. In 1522 the Nao Victoria became the first ship to circumnavigate the world, the only survivor of the 5 ships than left on Magellan's expedition 3 years earlier. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Nice lesson once again, Martyn. Though I am a bit confused: I ever heard about San Lucar de Barrameda, one of the most famous locations to produce Sherry. Sorry for another alcohol twist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Wayne. I had heard of nearby Cadiz but not this town or NP. I went to Spain in the early 60s and the brown struck me after the greeness of the landscape in England. I also liked the smell from the pine trees as well as the noisy Cicadas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gerold and that is apparently on of the tourist attractions. As I mentioned to Wayne, it was a place I never heard of before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember there was an episode of "The Persuaders" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Persuaders! , when a psycho-manipulated guy was activated to kill someone after hearing the key word "Sanlucar de Barrameda". It might have been "Someone like me", or "The morning after"... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
