The Tómbolo de Trafalgar, a local point of interest comprises a sandy isthmus joining Cape Trafalgar to the mainland. from the 1930s the town was known as Barbate de Franco because General Francisco Franco spent leisure time there.
Barbate ceased to be called this in 1998 after a decree was passed by the Junta de Andalucia. Barbate has a long history of fishing stretching back to Roman times when fish salting was at its peak. The town does not have the charm of many older settlements but it is well designed and has an attractive central square, Plaza de la Inmaculada, flanked by the Town Hall and the Church of St. Paul. Barbate is popular with Spanish tourists in the summer but attracts few foreign visitors.
Barbate celebrates several fiestas during the year:
Carnival is celebrated in February or March, usually the week after it is celebrated in Cadiz. A temporary building is erected by the river and during the appointed week there are various dramatic, satirical and musical events. The Six Taps Square (la Plaza de los Seis Grifos) is a particular centre of activity.
Holy Week is celebrated during the week before Easter with religious processions through the streets starting on Palm Sunday through to Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
Tuna Gastronomy week has been held since 2008 to celebrate the central role of tuna in the towns economy. It takes the form of a fair with temporary buildings, local trade stands and other attractions
St John's Night, traditionally on 23 June during the evening, artificial figures of local outstanding people, national celebrities or politicians are burned, it is customary to go down to the beach to cool down after the bonfires.
St. Carmen's Fair (Feria del Carmen) held on 16 July to celebrate the patron saint of fishermen and the town.

Surfear en la playa de Yerbabuena
Leer más:
TIPO DE OLA: Derecha muy larga, con buenas condiciones se forman tubos. Se la conoce como la derecha de Andalucia, y probablemente sea las mejores olas surfeables de toda Andalucia. Los vientos del norte son los más propicios y necesita bastante mar de fondo de dirección suroeste. En este spot puedes encontrar hasta 3 picos diferentes, pero con las condiciones adecuadas se puedes unir los 3 generando una derecha muy larga. NIVEL DEL SPOT: Intermedio, avanzado. ACCESOS: Se aconseja aparcar en el puerto pesquero de Caños de Meca y caminar por la playa hasta llegar a los acantilados donde están los spots, la caminata es aproximadamente de 1km. LOCALES: Máximo respeto SERVICIOS: Ninguno, al ser un parque natural CURIOSIDADES: La playa de la Hierbabuena es una playa de Barbate, situada en el Parque Natural de la Breña y Marismas del Barbate. Es conocida también como la playa del Chorro, debido a la existencia de diversos flujos de agua en los acantilados cercanos.
