The programme

We leave by coach for a panoramic tour of the city of Cádiz, during which we can admire the most important monuments of the city. Our guide shows us the most characteristic points, such as the splendid Cathedral with the golden dome that stands out against the blue sky. We then head in the direction of Arcos de la Frontera.
Perched atop a rocky ridge, this typical Andalusian village offers a breathtaking panorama of the winding Guadalete River and broad valley. Impossible not to be fascinated by its wonderful Renaissance palaces, by the typical white houses with wrought iron balconies adorned with flowers of various chromatic shades. In the historic centre, one gets the impression that time has stopped. Here the maze of alleys and narrow streets is not accessible by car. We can then immerse ourselves in the local atmosphere on foot, discovering every corner of this typical pueblo blanco.
We reach Plaza del Cabildo, where the belvedere gives us a wonderful view of the valley and the surrounding mountains. The Castle overlooks the square, whose walls embrace the historic center, and the Minor Basilica of Santa Maria, an architectural jewel whose construction began in the 13th century.
We leave by bus for Jerez de la Frontera, another Andalusian pearl. Here, thanks to the dry and breezy climate, different types of vines grow which allow the production of three main varieties of Sherry.
A visit to the bodegas awaits us, the cellars where the high quality liqueur wine typical of the area which takes the name of Jerez is produced. We observe the entire Sherry production process, from the vineyard to the bottle, and then delight the palate with the tasting of the fine wine.
