  • Many tapas don’t really come to life until applied to bread. Some are served already perched on a slice.

  • Visitors cannot fail to notice the black cutouts of the noble bull adorning many Andalucían roadside hills. It is the symbol of this venerable sherry and brandy producer is a protected part of regional heritage.

  • This has an aroma reminiscent of an amontillado , while its colour is closer to oloroso .

  • This wild area provides plenty of inspiring views and fauna (see Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche Park).

  • One of the most legendary of the names associated with sherry, with a flawless discernment for this world-class tipple. The company was founded in 1730, and a tour of the famous Moorish-style cellar “de la Ina” is de rigueur when in Jerez (see Málaga and Cádiz Provinces).
