| Description | María José Solano and artist Miki Leal travel to Jerez, a city of literature and monuments, a synthesis of flamenco, horses and the world of wine. Jerez is the city of flamenco, horses and wine. Above and beyond that cultural and Dionysian triad, however, the largest city in the province of Cádiz contains a rich history and a literary trail that can be traced back to the great Romantic travellers who came here during the 18th and 19th centuries. Its historic neighbourhoods and quarters, each different from the next, thrust up the bell towers and spires of their churches – and the memory of their ancient mosques – into the Cádiz sky. The town is surrounded by vineyards where seasoned vines take root, and its bodegas – dark and silent as cathedrals – are full of the promise of conversation and joy for what their casks contain. |
