A day trip to Arcos de la Frontera

Arcos de la Frontera is one of the "white towns" of Andalucia, built on rocky outcrops in the north of the province. It is only 45 mins from Jerez by bus so we went for a day trip. It was quite pretty but two of the main sights, churches dating back to the time of the victories of the Christians over the Muslims (hence "de la frontera"), were closed. The town has great views down to the valley of the Guadelete river, which flows in a big loop round the cliffs that the town is on, and then to Jerez and to the bay of Cadiz. Lunch in the sunshine and back home for a snooze!Read more
