    MY PERFECT DAY IN CADIZ

    Feb 02, 2022 1 minute

    MORNING

    always love starting the day with a market visit, and the Mercado Central in Cádiz is one of my favourites, but today we have to be at the Maritime Port Terminal to catch the 9.55am catamaran to El Puerto de Santa María.

Founded in 1838, this classic-style bodega, with its arches and high ceilings (affectionately known as Sherry cathedrals) has been owned by the Gutiérrez family for more than 100 years. Visits are available Monday to Saturday at 11am (booking required) and include a winery tour and Sherry tasting.
