Instead of going on the $109 excursion of the cruise ship we were on in Cadiz, we booked a tasting at Gutierrez Colonia on our own. The ferry to El Puerto de Santa Maria was only a few blocks from the cruise ship dock, round trip ferry fare was 5.50 Euro. The winery was only a few blocks from the other end of the ferry. And then the tour itself (10 Euro each) was small, only eight of us (but from 5 different countries), but very thorough. And included tasting SIX different varieties of sherry! The guide, one of the owners I think, explained every step and had wonderful anecdotes. I had always thought sherry was like Port, but no! And I had also not known there were so many varieties. And they were all delicious!! We had planned to also go to one of the big bodegas, but after tasting six kinds of sherry, we really didn't think we could do another. but there was no reason to, anyway. We decided, after the tasting, that we had tried the very best , so why look further? This is one of a very few, (three?) small producers left, and their claim to fame is that they are so close to the river, and the sea, that their products taste differently (and better!) than those farther away. My favorite was the Cream, but we also liked the Moscatel and actually, all of them! It was well worth going on our own instead of with a big tour. So if you happen to be in the area, go see them!

Enjoy a private tour to the White Towns of Andalusia. The White Towns of Andalusia are a series of towns in southern Spain, mostly within Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. All of the villages are characterized by white washed walls and red or brown tiled roofs. Some say that these villages paint the white house to ward off the intense summer heat that affects mainly the towns along the Sierra de Grazalema. But keep whitewashed houses is a very ancient custom in the Mediterranean to disinfect the environment in the plague epidemic period. The lime mixed with water produces a high heat kill any microorganism. Therefore, people living in cities with houses "whitewashed" ended up escaping more disease than those who did not.  Today times have changed, but the tradition is still alive, somehow, marking the time to paint the facades ( "whitewashed"). So much so that in some pueblos blancos, you can paint the exteriors of homes without taxes.

Inclusions: Hotel/port pickup and drop-off, Private tour, Transport by air-conditioned minivan, Guided visit to Zahara de la Sierra, Guided visit to Grazalema, Guided visit to Arcos de la Frontera

Gabriella and Juan were wonderful tour guides - we learned so much and saw some wonderful sites. They picked us up from our hotel right on time and we enjoyed an entertaining and educational road trip to Ronda. We loved this town and the great stores about Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles made it even more enjoyable. Sentinil is such a cute town as well and the houses and bars against the mountain are so unique! We had a great time and we highly recommend this tour! ????

We did the two-hour free walking tour with Carmen - and it was excellent! She shared lots of history and local info - including fantastic bar, restaurant and cake shop recommendations - in a relaxed, friendly way. Highly recommended.

On a recent trip to Morocco we were given an opportunity to have an extra day of leisure in Casablanca. With some research we soon realized that we would be seeing all of the top attractions in Casablanca during our tour so we started to research the day trips available from Casablanca. This day trip to Tangier drew our attention because it was one place not included in our tour but we were unsure of the tour because it had no reviews. We decided to take a chance and we were very pleased. In fact, this day trip was one of the highlights of our trip. We were met at the Tangier train station by our local guide Bilal who was excellent. Bilal and the driver took the three of us on a fantastic tour of Tangier which included the Tangier Medina, the Hercules Cave and much more. We had a delicious lunch in a small family run local restaurant which was not included but was reasonably priced. We even had a chance to take a ride along the beach on some dromedaries (one humped camels). The high speed (298 km/hr) train ride from Casablanca to Tangier which is include is two hours each way allowing a chance to see the landscaping along the coast of Morocco. Just make sure you receive your train tickets prior to your tour. All in all an excellent day. I would recommend.

Born in Vejer and I live in Seville, besides living in Granada and Córdoba. I know Andalusia in depth. For 2 years I was responsible for the Forge XXI Foundation in Morocco, which worked for the personal and professional development of children. There we discovered the possibilities offered by activities related to tourism and history. And there began my love for Arab, Jewish and Christian cultures. I have been working as a guide for more than 10 years and I have organized routes for the IES Vicente Aleixandre, in meetings with International Students. I have a degree in Psychology and Expert in History of Spain

Our guide Gregory picked us up from hotel promptly and gave us a brief description of the tour and history of the island. He was very knowledgeable about the island, history and amazing general knowledge. The car was a very comfortable Mercedes and he made us feel like VIP’s. The trip took us up the East coast to Candelaria, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and further viewing points on to the North east peninsula of Anaya. This area is quiet and unspoilt where we had several photo opportunities and short breaks before moving on to the rugged coastline and village of Benjo where we stopped for lunch at a small fish restaurant overlooking the sea. We were offered plenty of time at all the stopping points and felt that the time was ‘ours’ The afternoon was a trip through the mountains and laurel jungle with more marvellous photo opportunities which Gregory took many of us on our camera. We had a short walk in the controlled area of the jungle before retuning back to our hotel in the south. This was a very enjoyable experience with a friendly driver / guide, throughly recommended if you want a personal tour over the island.

Traemos a nuestros días bailes y cantes olvidados, esencia de maestros, que son la raíz. Nos alejamos de lo comercial, del engaño del flamenco para guiris, del convencimiento e imagen vendidos fuera de España, del concepto del flamenco como sevillanas, rumbas y panderetas. Nos alejamos de las tecnologías inexistentes en el siglo XIX, etapa en la que el Flamenco era verdad, ya que sólo había cante, guitarra, palmas, baile. Los únicos dos ingredientes que usamos son alma y corazón, aderezados con una entrega visceral de los artistas que no cuentan con guion, ni con una composición estructural. La improvisación, la emoción, el sentimiento, eso que llaman “duende”, el flamenco de tú a tú, como decía el gran director Peter Brook “uno haciendo y otro mirando”. Si das verdad el espectador se lleva verdad, si lo das todo no estás obligado a dar más y si te emocionas trasmitirás emoción. El acercamiento del flamenco de verdad al pueblo.

I booked and paid for two tickets at €30 each ten days ago and was looking forward to the show tonight. At lunchtime today I received an email saying a ‘very important client’ had booked out the whole venue at short notice and my tickets were therefore cancelled. If I wanted to come tomorrow, that would be okay with them. As this was my final night in Jerez, I pleaded with them to allow me to come tonight, but no; the ‘muy importante cliente’ had reserved the whole place. They are promising a refund ‘in a few days’ but I found this episode infuriating. Please don’t support an establishment that treats normal patrons in such a disgraceful way.
