Carmona necropolis
27. februar 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
The necropolis has roman tombs ranging from simple holes in the ground to huge ones, with interior pools and banqueting areas. Most at least have niches in which to put pots, bowls and offerings to the gods on behalf of the dead.Læs mere

Andalucia day
28. februar 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
This morning we took the car back to Hertz at the airport and got a taxi back into Jerez. Its Andalucia day today, a public holiday so everywhere is closed - eating in tonight. I so remember andulcia day four years ago. We were in Chipiona with Natalie, Andy, Finlay and Emily who was just 8 or 9 months old, when the great storm blew in, and we all got drenched in howling winds and rain like a monsoon, but finlay still wanted to play on the beach in the rain!Læs mere

Spring has sprung!
1. marts 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
At least it has here! Today is 22c, clear blue skies and just a breath of a breeze. The orange trees still have a few lone oranges on, but now they are completely covered with flowers that will be next years crop, and the streets are full of the scent of orange blossom.

Looking at the weather forecast at home, next week is going to be a bit of a shock!Læs mere

Daytrip to Cadiz
2. marts 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
We took the train from Jerez to Cadiz this morning and spent a lovely day in the sun walking through the city that we liked so much when we were here before. A few hours in the museum, which seemed to be reorganised and all the information cards seem to have been lost! Then a walk to the market square where I bought some packets of Spanish chilli seeds last time, but although the stall was still there, it was closed and chained up, so I guess I will try to find some when we get home. Then lunch in a restaurant we also remember from before, and least that was still good! And a walk along the seafront in the sun can't go wrong!Læs mere

A different sherry tasting
4. marts 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Yesterday we went on a visit and sherry tasting to a bodega we have not visited before, the reason being it is very expensive. However , the bodega specialises in sherries with the classification of VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) which we have not had much chance to taste. So we went along and had the usual tour explaining how sherry is made but with some extra info on how the sherry regulators control the classifications. The VORS sherry has to spend at least 30 years in barrel - as part of the solera - before being bottled. The tasting of 6 different types of sherry was good and interesting but confirmed our suspicion that we could not detect a sufficient increase in quality to justify the massive increase in prices - the sherry is sold for between 30 to 100 euros per bottle!

The bodega also has it's own art gallery of paintings by Spanish old masters such as Goya, Velasquez, Zubaran which were very nice but not the best of their work.Læs mere

Fabulous food
5. marts 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Last night we went for dinner at our favourite restaurant in Jerez - La Carbona. We introduced Natalie and Andy to it on a previous visit and they love it too. The restaurant is in an old bodega beautifully decorated and a lovely, calm space. It is not your normal tapas menu but high quality cooking using local ingredients. I took Natalie when she was here last week and she said the food was better than ever and she preferred it to their trip to Hestor Blumenthal's famous Fat Duck. As Tim's reward for baby sitting last week he got to go last night.

As usual we had the tasting menu with a pairing of sherry with each course - as there are now 6 courses this is quite a feat. All were delicious - pate, seafood, risotto, fish, duck and ice cream. All small portions but sufficient, but the sherries are not small measures! The staff are very friendly and explain what each dish is. We are already looking forward to going again next year.Læs mere

Cathedral bell tower
5. marts 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
When we have been here before the bell tower at the cathedral has been close with scaffolding all round it. They have now finished the renovation work so today I was able to climb it for the first time. Its not hugely tall but still gives views all over the city and out to the fields and hills around. Jerez is quite a low-rise city, except for the church spires, so there isn't a lot to see, but it's enough to be able to identify lots of the places we know.Læs mere

Going home tomorrow!
6. marts 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
As usual I don't know how it's already time to go home. We went out last night and had a last sherry in the Square. Saturday night and it was buzzing, also the last weekend of the Flamenco festival. We need to be out before 7 tomorrow to get a taxi to the airport for our flight to Madrid and then Heathrow. If everything goes ok we could home by evening. Its sunny and warm here today with a gentle breeze. The forecast at home tomorrow night is -1 with a frost..... brrrrrr

Final lunch in the sun today. The waiter last week spent some playing football in the Square with finlay. Today he wanted to know where his friend was!

The apartment here has been pretty much perfect, so let's hope we can be back here again next year!Læs mere
