Last evening in Jerez

We relax after the Cathedral visit.  


And later we have fun in La Maceta. 






Below is the view from my friends' flat out to Plaza del Banco.  It is very authentic.  
I am sad to leave Spain especially as I was not able to make the most of things this time.  As I do not feel 100% well, I am however glad to be heading home to recover and then plan the next visit undaunted.  



Thanks to C,D and J for looking after me and to Spanish in Cádiz for bearing with me.

Jerez Cathedral



This time I am happy to find the cathedral open.  It is pleasantly understated and the guy on the ticket stall is lovely.  The hightlight is 'The Sleeping Girl' by Zubaran, which is tucked away in the Sacristy. 










Alcaza, Jerez de la Frontera.


We are spending our last day and night in Jerez before flying out with Ryan Air.  Please see my notes on Jerez in my blog http://megenespanaotravez.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/alcazar-jerez-de-la-frontera.html

Here are more photos from the Alcaza







It is lovely to see the beautiful baths again 



















Journey home begins


Playa Caleta is not inviting today.  



And it is back to the station for the last tme in 2015.


And in Jerez it is back to Cruz Blanca for lunch

Leaving Vejer



The heavens open but we are cosy in a bar! 



And soon we we are back in Cádiz at the Plaza de las Flores in the Freiduria 



Evening in Vejer

The bus does not leave till after 7pm so we continue to wander. 




In Casa de Cultura, I come across an old photo.  















Vejer Afternoon










Above is the Plaza de España , the lovely main square, overlooked by a white-walled Ayuntamiento, and centred on a delightful fountain decorated with nineteenth-century Triana tiles from Seville. 
And here is a view of the Plaza from above.
