In Jerez, don't miss visiting the Alcazar, located in front of the winery we will visit on Friday :-)

If you are planning to stay for some more days and you wish to travel a bit, we recommend you visit Granada and Córdoba.

In Granada you must visit the Alhambra. General info and booking tickets: http://www.alhambradegranada.org/en/. If you are planning to visit Granada, you have to book the tickets for Alhambra as soon as possible, because they usually have sold the thickets for a long time in advance.

In Córdoba, don't miss the Mosque. General info and booking tickets: http://www.mezquitadecordoba.org/en/index.html

From Jerez to the Beach!

Jerez doesn't have a beach, but you can get to Valdelagrana's beach, in El Puerto de Santa Maria. It is a really beautiful beach, and not so far.

By train: The train station is "Valdelagrana".
There is a train every 30 minutes in working days, and one every hour during weekends. It takes 13 minutes to reach Valdelagrana. From the station, you have to walk 15 minutes to the beach.

Breakfast in Jerez!

Now that you are in Andalusia, one of the best ideas for breakfast is to have a coffe and a toast with olive oil. You can also put some salt on it. The olive oil is great in this region, and you check it in any café.

Another great idea, is buying "churros" in the kiosks placed in the square near the market. According to wikipedia, Churros are "fried-dough pastry-based snacks, sometimes made from potato dough, that originated in Spain". (See the article in wikipedia). Then you can have a coffe in any café in that square an enjoy your churros there :-) Actually, you can ask for churros in most of the cafés, but in this square they will be the best, the cheapest, and they will be freshly fried!

If you always thought that churros were difficult to digest (we also tend to think that in Spain), here you will change your mind. It just depends on the kind and the quality of the oil you use, and your ability frying... and for that my friend, you've come to the place!
