Cádiz
 Cádiz
is the capital of the province of Andalusia. It is a popular holiday
destination attracting tourists, students and business travelers
from all around the world. Cadiz has a wealth of attractions including
museums, ancient monuments, private and public beaches and churches.
Traditional tapas bars and restaurants offer some of the country's
finest seafood and typical Andalucian cuisine. However, apart
from being a tourist destination Cadiz is more importantly a commercial
seaport exporting local produce including wine, sherry, cork,
figs, salted fish and olives and importing commodities such as
coal, iron, timber, coffee and cereals.
Jerez de la Frontera
 Jerez
de la Frontera, home of Spanish sherry and the famous ‘dancing
horses’, is just 15 miles northeast of Cadiz. During the
British occupation a large number of English, Irish and Scottish
settled here and hence the region has a large English speaking
population. Jerez is at the heart of a fertile plain, which has
the oldest vineyards in the whole of Europe. The Alcazar, Moorish
fortress of the 11th century is worth visiting. Also visit the
wine bodega where you can sample the local fino (sherry)
Ronda
 Ronda
is a pretty little Andalucian town standing on an isolated ridge
of the sierra. There are some spectacular views including the
gorge of the river El Tajo and the sierra. Trekking down the gorge
can be quite an adventure. Other attractions include the old town
with Moorish monuments from the 13th century, an 18th century
arched bridge, pretty little squares and cafes and beautiful gardens.
Another attraction is the Bullring, which was built in 1781 with
a museum inside the arena.
