JEREZ/CADIZ

Sun 11th Feb.
First thing in the morning we serviced the Winnebago then set off for Jerez to
check out the LPG depot and then see Jerez.The drive over is dual -carriage
way all the way over the mountains and down to Jerez.After some difficulty we
found the depot and checked the access OK! The depot is closed on Sunday
which we did know but we also by chance spotted the Repsol office in the town,
so we have all the details to chase tomorrow.We then had a sherry and lunch in
the square! around the corner from the Harveys Headquarters ! On checking
the maps the navigator decided that we could go to Cadiz so we shot off and
crossed the bridge to the centre of Cadiz and along the long main road down
to the port.This is the old part of Cadiz and in the port we saw some Atlantic
Cruise ships.Then we dropped down to the promenade on the Atlantic coast
and watched the surfers in the bay.We then found by chance the best tapas
bar and restaurant-Arte Serrano and had a coffee and brandy for the navigator!
The road out of Cadiz is across a causeway from the peninsular and the over
mountains past the largest wind farm(forest) in Europe ! The spectacular road
drops down past Tarifa to Algeciras with magnificent views across to the Straits
of Gibraltar.The pictures show the Bay of Cadiz,the Serrano Hams and the church
in Ronda-sorry no pictures of Jerez as the weather was overcast and damp!
