• Sunday in Jerez

    2012年6月3日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Coffee was good at breakfast, rest was just ok.
    We headed off for a wander, got to the Alcazar, it is really nice, great views and the restoration has been well done.
    The ticket seller was asking why Ireland voted yes, discussed the banks and salary cuts etc. Nice guy.
    We had a good walk around the Alcazar and then headed to a street market. OMG it was utter junk. It was amazing that anyone was trying to sell some of the stuff.
    We walked down to Gonzalez and Byass bodega ( Tio Pepe ) for a tour and a tasting.
    There was a little train to bring us round on the tour. Smell from all the barrels in the warehouse was amazing.
    Tio Pepe was uncle Jose !!!
    Very interesting tour and afterwards we got tapas and a tasting. Arven drank all 4 !!!!
    We visited the shop and got some mini bottles and Lepanto Brandy for M. Forgot to get coke mixer on the way back to hotel !!
    We went back to our "local" in the square for beer and tapas and then back to the hotel for a siesta. Our early start yesterday was catching up on us.
    We had chosen a restaurant in the fish market for dinner. Closed on Sunday !! So back to La Vega with all the oldies. The ground was covered in paper and toothpicks. The food is good though, those oldies are on to something.
    Arven had squid and M had Solomillo. Absolutely delish.
    We sat on our balcony and planned Cadiz. Arven had a sherry. A good day.
