Cadiz conundrum

[Clancy Moped]

Well a very pleasant lunch today near the Fish market in Cadiz and prices quite reasonable and amazingly fast service for Spain. To visit the cathedral one needs to be armed with a pot of gold or28€ to be precise but for that lots of silver to see and a lovely crypt. Best feature is a the toilet facilities also provided but with a sign saying in English priority for cathedral staff but none disturbed me in my ablutions. Car parking in an underground car park wasn’t unreasonable for a city at8.75€ for about 5 hours I guess. Driving into the city reminded me of entry into Miami for some reason . Only real downside was quite a few Costa Concordia types around but pleased to have made the trip.

If your in the market for dinner or drinks check out the Grand Cafe, it's in a lovely and lively square.

Thank you for suggestion. On to sample the delights of sherry Pepe tomorrow so will be looking for watering holes in Jerez should you know any.

Book in advance but A Mar - Restaurante Jerez - Comer en Jerez | Cocina de temporada is very nice.

I totally agree about A mar. We had a fabulous evening there . If they are full, worth trying their sister restaurant Albores which is just around the corner.

We also enjoyed La Carbona, which is in a former sherry entrepôt. They do a tasting menu with accompanying sherry flight.

Hope you took the time to singe the king of Spain’s beard whilst in Cadiz.

After the obligatory sherry tasting a good lunch today in Albores with helpful Moroccan server -would definitely go back -aroud95€ for 4 . Then on the way back a quick trip to view Tarifa where we are off to tomorrow night so wanted to check location/parking situation but lovely views from the pretty whitewashed town .
