Cadiz
2月16日, スペイン ⋅ 🌙 16 °C
There is a new archaeological site in Cadiz that we wanted to go to so we got up early (!) And got the train into Cadiz. The site is the phoenician port dating from the 3rd century BC, that was discovered when they were extending the basement of a flamenco bar, and with later roman and visigoth additions. The port was a dry dock for military ships, and the design was copied by the Romans all over the empire. It was interesting, but very small. Afterwards we took Pete to see the roman theatre, the causeway walk out to the Fort, and around the wonderful market.

It's carnival week in cadiz , and the streets were full of people in fancy dress or outrageous clothes, and there was something on at the cathedral for all the kids.

We had lunch in a restaurant we've been to before where the food is excellent, then walked back to the train station to go home.もっと詳しく

Fundador
2月17日, スペイン ⋅ 🌙 16 °C
For lunch today we booked a table at the Taperia de Fundador, the bodega that includes Harvey, Garvey, and Terry. Its restaurant is somewhere we've been before and is very good. We were not disappointed, its still really good, and strangely cheap. The wines of course were excellent, and for a special treat they had pimientos padron, which are normally everywhere but which we haven't seen anywhere this trip. Andy in the tapas restaurant in wendover (tres corazones) says that the harvest this year for these peppers has been really bad, and the prices have gone through the roof.

We discovered that a fino dry sherry that we really like is garvey san patricio sherry, and to buy from the bodega it's just, only, really (!) 5 euros a bottle! We bought one. (Suprised?)もっと詳しく

Sanlucar de barrameda
2月19日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Sanlucar de barrameda is one of the points of the "sherry triangle", along with jerez, and el puerto de santa Maria. Its on the mouth of the quadalquivir river and is famous for its manzanilla sherry, which is said to taste of a tang of the sea from the ocean winds. It is also famous for it's seafood, especially prawns. We have a booked a tasting tomorrow at bodega barbardillo, which we haven't been to before, and spent lunchtime today in the sun in one of the restaurants in the town square. All very yum!

Then for dinner to a restaurant renowned for its seafood, and had phenomenal lagustines - just wow!

The 45 minute bus journey from jerez to sanlucar, like all the public transport here, was on time and efficient, and is remarkable value at just 2 euros each!もっと詳しく

Bodega Barbadillo
2月20日, スペイン ⋅ 🌙 19 °C
For breakfast we went to the small cafe next door to our hotel. Its a place I really enjoy. Its full of locals at breakfast time, they serve a basic anducian breakfast of toast with olive oil and pureed chopped tomatoes , and an orange juice or coffee. We cheat and have butter and jam on our toast.

We booked a visit and tasting at Bodega barbardillo, probably the biggest and most commercial bodega in Sanlucar. It was the worst visit we've had - it didn't really feel like the guide was interested and explained every thing badly. Then they gave us just three wines -a glass of white wine, which was pleasant enough, but hardly unusual, then a fine manzanilla aged in the solera for 9 years which was very good , but at 28 euros a bottle. Then finally a cream, and we don't go for sweet sherries so much. All very disappointing .

Lunch was at different bodega that we've been to before, la cigarrera, small and very friendly with a restaurant in an interior courtyard in the sun, and with great food, and great manzanilla.

Then back on the bus to jerez,

La Carbona
2月24日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Last night we treated ourselves to what we think is the best restaurant in the city, at least the best we know of. It has a sherry pairing menu of 7 courses, each one with a glass of sherry designed to match with the food. It was as good as we remember, so pretty wonderful!

On the way home afterwards we came across a group of men practising carrying one of the floats for Easter . Each church has a huge statue of its Saint, or the virgin mary, normally in solid silver and incredibly heavy. These are paraded around the streets at Easter, but they need 40 or 50 people to carry them, so they need lots of practice getting them through the narrows streets and around the tight corners. They practice mostly at night when there's less traffic.もっと詳しく

Hey, you two, I’m surprised that you found your way home, let .alone watch the float practise after seven glasses of sherry. I trust you felt fine the next morning, Eve [Eve]

Great things about Jerez
2月25日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
We had a quiet day yesterday after the indulgence of the night before but no-one else did. Jerez is now in full swing practicing for the Semana Santa processions. Several churches had their troops out carring the floats burdened with concrete blocks instead of the statues they will carry. There were also a couple of brass bands marching through the streets and playing in the plazas.

There are also many tourists here now that come for the flamenco festival that started this week. This evening we went to a couple of our favourite tabancos - El Pasaje to see the flamenco show ( which was really good) and San Pedro, just round the corner from us, which specialises in hard to find sherries and simple tasty tapas. It is run by two old ladies who speak no English but we manage to get by.

Football here is usually played on a Sunday, so today I took the bus down to the southern edge of the city to see my second team here play, Jerez industrial. A 2-1 win puts them firmly in the play-off places.もっと詳しく

Orange blossom time
2月26日, スペイン ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
The last time we walked to the market we noticed that the orange trees that line all the streets are starting to have blossom out - next years marmalade! And the streets should soon be full of the scent of orange blossom.

However we had torrential rain and gales overnight so i dont know whether the blossom will have survived.もっと詳しく

Getting ready to come home
2月27日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
We are cutting our trip short - not going on from here to Merida as planned but returning straight home this Friday. Lynette's cousin has died and the funeral is next week.

So today we went to the Market for the last time and bought some large red prawns to cook for dinner tomorrow. We have booked to go to two of our favourite restaurants and started thinking about packing - even booked a Waitrose delivery for Saturday!

Natalie and Emily have a favourite jewellery shop here - just fashion pieces not valuable. But it's closing down so we had to take photos of the racks so Natalie and Emily could place their orders! Luckily we have managed to get most of them - and at half price.

I'm very conflicted about going home. I am really looking forward our house, and wendover, and of course to seeing all the family again, but also walking around the streets today in the sunshine reminds how much I love living here too!

Once again the time seems to have gone quickly and we are already saying 'we must do that when we come back next year'.もっと詳しく

So sorry to hear about your cousin, Lynette. Such a sad reason for you to have to come home but no doubt the memories of your time over there will keep your spirits up for when you return to the chilly days in Wendover. There is no real news here apart from the fact that Carrie invited me in to Molly’s bungalow this morning and the evidence and smell of damp permeates the whole place. She still awaits the results of the asbestos check in the artex ceilings that have collapsed and is getting no joy from the insurance company as to a date when they can get workers in. I feel so sorry for her and the responsibility she is shouldering.Enjoy your last couple of days and have a safe journey home. Eve [Eve]

Andalucia Day
2月28日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Andalucia (spelled with a "s" in english and "c" in spanish) is Spain's largest autonomous province. Created as such on February 28th 1980, it marks the date with a public holiday, so all the schools, public buildings and shops are closed although a few of the pavement bars and cafes are open.

It's still the middle of the Flamenco festival so the streets are crowded with people; spanish tourists of course but also plenty of British, German, French and Japanese ones as well. There are always lots of Japanese here for the flamenco. With the streets mostly empty of traffic, the churches take the opportunity to practice carrying their floats.

The prawns we bought in the market yesterday are big deep red ones called "carabineros", supposedly because they are the colour of Spanish customs police uniforms!

Packing tomorrow to go home, we've been coming now since 2015, with just a few years out - one when finlay was born and only came here for a week with him and Natalie, one when we went to almeria instead, and one in the pandemic when we couldn't travel. That first time we came for three months from New year to Easter, just coming home for a week in the middle. So being here so long , it really felt like a second home!もっと詳しく

Crikey, a second home indeed but one filled with wonderful experiences, even today that can be added to those you already have. No doubt the times you didn’t visit make this year’s trip all the more special. [Eve]
