Puerto Real

▪ Spain
ancient (Latin)  Portus Gaditanus 

      town, Cádiz provincia (province), in the Andalusia comunidad autónoma (autonomous community), southern Spain. It is on the north shore of the inner arm of the Bay of Cádiz and lies 5 miles (8 km) east of Cádiz. Known to the Romans, it was probably the most ancient trading station on the Bay of Cádiz and took its modern name (meaning “royal port”) when rebuilt in 1488 by the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand (Ferdinand II) and Isabella (Isabella I). It is now a beach resort, a local agricultural centre, and the site of light industries and shipyards. It is on a highway and a rail line linking Cádiz and Sevilla. Pop. (2007 est.) mun., 38,974.
