Reading edition
197. Sanlúcar (de Barrameda) is an important and interesting seaport town at the mouth of the Guadalquivir. It was taken from the Moors in 1264 and occupied a prominent position during the 15th and 16th centuries. Columbus sailed from this point in 1498 on his third voyage to the New World. Lope makes Sanlúcar the scene of part of his Nuevo Mundo descubierto por Cristóbal Colón and mentions it in a number of his other plays.
