Visiting Jerez de la Frontera is like a trip in time. We were there mainly thanks to the beautiful wedding of Irene and Borja (special post for this 
).
First thing that offered me this impression is the huge amount of vintage things you can see wherever you go.
It is amazing how the habitants of this authentic Andalusian town love to wear their kids like dolls. I could not see on the street a little girl without an elegant dress or at least a beautiful bow on her hair. This is also valid for boys which wear their pants only with nice straps of the same color. We found also shops only with clothes and vintage carriers for dolls. Everything on the streets of Jerez seems to be part of a fairy tail.
Another interesting thing is that they have and respect the siesta. All the stores, restaurants, bars and even banks are closed between 13:00 and 17:00. It’s impressive how the vivid town from morning goes to sleep in these 4 hours and comes back to live in the evening.
On the first day we ate like tourists by ordering some eggs with shrimps and hamon, but on the next morning we seemed to be more from around by eating churros and coffee. Churros are the Spanish equivalent of doughnuts. Instead of a ring shape, like a doughnut, churros are long straight or slightly curled lengths that usually have ridges. They are really really good served with coffee . Thanks God that I could find them also in Madrid
On the next days we were quite busy with the wedding preparations, so we went out just in the afternoon. All people, young and old, gathered in the small squares where puppets theater enjoyed the audience.
OK, it was an exception when the siesta got us out of the house and Nadia took a little snap on a bench in the parc, near the castle of Jerez. Moment imortalized with my BlackBerry 
For sure we enjoyed staying in the house of Jose. Our companions, Dragomirestii took some pictures of the beautiful house we stayed in. I felt like I was living in a telenovela .
During all the holidays me and Pedro were wearing Nadia in shifts. Today was Pedro’s turn.
The south of Spain is clearly something to see, therefore we encourage you to go there for some time. I think it reflects much better the typical Spanish life, rather than the famous Barcelona or Madrid.
