A Three-Day Weekend We had one three-day weekend while in Spain, and some of us took an optional trip. We left on Friday for Xerez, where we visited Tío Pepe, where sherry is brewed and bottled and from there we went to Spain’s southernmost city, Tarifa. Tarifa is one of the windiest cities in the world, making it excellent for flysurfing and windsurfing. We swam in the sea for a bit and walked around town to take in the sights. On Saturday we went to Gibraltar. From there, we could see Morocco across the Strait of Gibraltar, and we went to see the famous rock monkeys of Gibraltar- all named after members of the Royal Family. We also went out to get some delicious British food- most of us got either English breakfast or Fish and Chips. It was interesting how in Gibraltar there’s a colloquial mix between English and Spanish. I went up to a stand and forgetting about Gibraltar being a British territory, asked the man in Spanish for a bottle of water. He looked at me puzzled for a moment and in English responded “well, we have these waters here.” It was a really fun weekend. The trip was one I’ll never forget |
