We took a tour with a small group of ten people from the base in Rota into Jerez, Spain, the night before we left for Portugal. Flemenco originated in this corner of Spain and the performance, as well as the meal, was very authentic . . . meaning dynamic and emotional. We loved it. I also love the sangria!
Sherry also originated here, and there are enormous bodegas or wine cellars in and around Jerez. The restaurant where we saw Flamenco had once been a wine storage bldg and was now a taverna.
Our drive on Saturday morning into Portugal was through miles and miles of sunflower fields, grape vines, wheat fields and citrus and olive groves. There´s still a lot of wide open spaces in Spain.
