Jerez 2

Day 2 & as planned we've spent our time in town. Jerez is the home of sherry & there are barrels everywhere Unfortunately they're empty so you can't take a jug and help yourself! That's probably a good thing though I did enjoy a free glass of fino on offer outside one of the bars.

Breakfast was at a delightful bar around the corner from the hotel. No not alcohol but coffee and toasted ham rolls, interesting, we wouldn't dream of going to a bar for breakfast at home. We then strolled around town to the old Moorish palace, the Alcazar and the cathedral. This is one of the main squares.


This is typical of Jerez. Blue skies, monuments, flowers and fountains. What you can't hear is the noise- of people talking, children playing and the swifts & swallows screaming and squabbling. Our hotel is an oasis of calm in this tiny side street. So calm & a siesta beckon!
