Jerez

Once again we scored a 10 in picking a hotel in Jerez. Walking into the lobby was like walking into another world. The 2 young ladies at the desk were so helpful and it must be off season because we were all alone. The hotel had been a palace and was now totally renovated into a 24 room hotel. 

Jerez is known for 4 things: 1) Sherry wine 2) Horses 3) Flamenco dancing 4) Motorcross GP race of Europe. We took a private tour of the city and learned a lot of history that we will not remember, but it did give us an overview of how important this city was and is. Columbus was in Jerez before departing for the New World. After the tour we walked about a mile to the famous Andalucia Equestrian Horse School and watched a display of horses marching and doing manuevers. It was amazing,

After another meal of Paella we headed back to the hotel checking out in the morning. Parking is quite a challenge and since we had a larger car this time, we were surprised that we found a spot and was able to get in and out.
