Cruise Stop Cadiz, Spain – April 28th, 2022

Lmnei

Now on the mainland of Spain, our first stop was Cadiz. Here we engaged a private driver and tour guide to take us on a trip to a Bodega in Jerez (close by) and old town Cadiz. First we drove through Cadiz and to Jerez, toured Sandeman Bodega where they make Sherry and then came back and walked around the old town of Cadiz.
