Day 87 - Cadiz, Spain


Saturday, our stop was in Cadiz, Spain which is on the south-east Atlantic coast. It is just northwest of Gibraltar.  Our excursion "Panoramic Cadiz and Jerez with Sherry Tasting" was  a drive around Cadiz and to Jerez to visit a Sherry Cellar.

About midnight we passed by the Rock of Gibraltar. If you look closely, you can see the outline of the Rock.
