We drove on to a narrow slice of land surrounded by sea to the port town of Cadiz.
The waterfront of Cadiz is dominated by its yellow domed cathedral
El Arco de la Rosa ("Rose Arch") is a gate carved into the medieval walls next to the cathedral
Cadiz Central Market with its the neo-classical columns
The fish and seafood market was the best we’ve ever seen!
The Falla Grand Theatre
Monument to the Constitution proclaimed in Cadiz in 1812
Our next stop was Jerez de la Frontera, famous for its dancing horses and sherry
Jerez is home to around 20 sherry bodegas
…..and a few storks
Jerez Cathedral
Plaza del Arenal, in the centre of Jerez
Beautiful life size bronze sculpture in Plaza del Mamelon
On our last day, we went to the Royal Andalucían School of Equestrian Art to watch the handsome white horses show off their dance steps to the rhythm of stirring Spanish music (no photos allowed)
The beautifully manicured grounds of the school
In a small enclosure on one side of the grounds we found a pair of stocky looking horses – Przewalski’s horse - considered the only remaining truly wild “horse” in the world.
