Yesterday after class, we went to Jerez to visit a winery there. It was less than an hour away by train and we got to see where the famous Tio Pepe wine was made. It was so neat to see the thousands of barrels of wine that they have there and to learn a little bit about the history. We saw how it was made as well as the vineyards with all the grapes. At the end, we got to taste test two of the wines and they both had a very unique taste. I do not know much about wine or the process of making it, so it was interesting to learn more about it. Today, we went on a tour of the constitution of Spain and we got to see where it was written and the monuments built during that time in the 1800s. I love learning about the history of Cadiz while actually being in this beautiful city. After the tour, we met up with some students from the University of Cadiz so we could practice Spanish and they could practice English. I can't believe that we have already been here for 2 weeks! But we still have a lot more to experience in the next month! Hasta luego!
