Utrera and Jerez de la Frontera

Leaving Seville we stopped in the small village of Utrera for coffee in a forgettable bar. On the outskirts of town we saw this appear on the horizon.

We couldn't get close as it is surrounded by a large concrete fence and locked gates with lots of security. No information available at the site but Google tells us It is yet another church. Built in the 1970s by a breakaway Catholic sect after visions of Mary were sighted here during the1960s.

We then stopped in the sprawling city of Jerez de la Frontera, famous for its sherry (as well as the usual Moorish castle and Cathedral).

It's also home to the Royal Equestrian School, but it wasn't open to us today.

Our favourite part of the day was lunch at a tiny bar complete with another free Flamenco performance. (Video on Facebook) Again the performers were very focussed and entrancing. Both the locals and other tourists appreciated the show.

We are now happily at home in the latest Airbnb. This 

one is an old family home set in a large shady garden complete with a heavily laden, ripe and sweet pomegranate tree.
