Spain, Day 7 of 10 (Wednesday, 30 May 2001)


Day 6 Day 8 Home


We drove to Jerez de la Frontera and toured Bodega Gonzalez Byass, producer of brandy and sherry. The pictures shows the glass of sherry and ladder made available for the mice who live amongst the barrels (old tradition).


Went to Puerto de la Santa Maria, ate a lot of fried fish. Then on to Sanlucar de Barrameda (through Rota and Chipiona). We arrived in time for some of the festivities of the Feria de la Manzanilla. Unfortunately we missed the horse racing on the beach.


Little town fair, an excuse to party.


The local sherry producer was eagerly handing out free samples, especially to the drivers of the parade floats.




Drove back to Arcos through huge commercial sunflower fields, then to our favorite Tapas bar for dinner.
