In Andalucia you can't escape the Feria in April - either the big and famous one in Sevilla, the smaller in Vejer, the famous in El Puerto, or the horses' fair in Jerez. The Feria del Caballo in Jerez will start next week, but the shops and the talks are full of gitanas, shoes and jewellery for the feasts. Plus tv is showing hours and hours of pictures, discussions and music on the ferias. Yeah, well - most probably I'm gonna soak up enough of this to last me another year...Since the internet shops in El Puerto are still closed, I'm sitting in an internet room in the middle of Jerez now, for a change. "Lefties" and their choice of very cheap Zarah clothes is just round the corner and tempting. The main market area and the shoe shops as well. Poor me!
Yesterday in Cadiz I couldn't resist and had to buy a verrrrry cheap indian style shirt at Zarah's, reminding me of my first travel to Spain in the early 70s, when I bought a similar shirt in Madrid.
Cadiz was wonderful with its silver light, as always. Near the coast I found a new bar, "La Canela", doing multicultural food, drinks, and music sessions. A place to remember.
My favourite "bar" in Jerez, a small place near the market hall selling sardines only (plus beer), was closing down when I came there, so I went a bit further down the main street and found the big and beautiful "El gallo azul" is not as expensive as I always thought it was, but rather cheap, and doing the best and most interesting tapas I ever had - and I had some fine tapas in Andalucia over the years. Another place to remember - I'll go there right back after typing and chatting in the internet.
