Feria al Puerto

It was a long, but quiet journey along the coast with a stop in Cadiz (and the public loo, I know best, worldwide, I guess).
At the busstop in El Puerto I met my friend Dolores. After not having heard from each other for almost two years, I had asked her to look for a place for me to stay for a few days in her home town El Puerto de Santa Maria near Cadiz.
From El Puerto you can easily travel to Cadiz, Jerez, Sanlucar and the National Park Coto de Donana, so it's a perfect place for a great holiday. It's an old town famous for fish dishes, Sherry, and bullfights, which I first came to hear about in Stuttgart, in my favourite spanish restaurant (the one I even had my wedding dinner at, ages ago).
Dolores offered me a wonderful spacious room in her flat, located in an old monastery in the middle of the old town. Of course I accepted - I am so lucky!!!!
Today I'll explore the town, where Columbus started his travels to the Americas from, and tonight I'll be dancing like mad at the opening of the Feria! Five days and nights of partying. Whow! :-)
