A night of Flemenco


Our last night in Jerez with Jess' family we enjoyed a flamenco show. We enjoyed it thoroughly. I did not really know what to expect not really familiar with the style of dance. Aware that it existed but in no way an expert in its style and history. We all enjoyed the passionate singing and dancing that we experienced that night.

Flamenco is a form of Spanish folk music and dance from the region of Andalisia in Southern Spain. It includes singing, guitar playing, dancing and hand clapping.

If you are ever in Spain or ever have the chance to attend a flamenco performance I suggest checking it out.

Cats of Jerez


The cats of Jerez in this little tiny alley of stairs broke my heart. I wanted to capture each and everyone of them and take them home with me. Of course that would never work but all I wanted to do was pick one up and give it a cuddle. Instead I left Jerez with these photographs of these little homeless kitty cats.

Jerez and the Zoo


As the adults in our party wished to venture off on a sherry tasting tour of a Bodega. I cannot remember which one but there are plenty of them in Jerez. Anyways, Jess and I were in no way interested in sherry or taking a tour of Bodega we had to come up with another option of what we could do. A little research and also the pamphlets at our hotel we decided we would check out Jerez's zoo.  (Very photo and animal heavy)

Jerez!


The time had finally come for us to leave Cadiz. In the past few days Jess and I had enjoyed a candy store that also sold these delicious drinks. In the time that we had been in Cadiz we had managed to fill up a punch card and were able to get one free. The morning of our departure we hustled to the store and ordered our drinks before hurrying back to the waiting taxi to rush to the train station.

Unfortunately we missed our train but the Chicos who had arrived a little earlier than us caught the first train. We waited around for the next one and played a bit of Scrabble to pass the time.
