Our time in Jerez (and in Spain) is nearly over so I made a last walk about on a beautiful sunny day. This bandstand is in the park next door to the Alcazar in central Jerez. The Cathedral is peeking through the trees at the center of the image.

Wandering a quiet pedestrian-only street in the old town section of Jerez, I came upon an Italian restaurant.

I was ready for some different culture food. It has been difficult as a vegan finding restaurants that offer many options for someone who doesn't eat ham, cheese, or seafood - seemingly the mainstays of local cuisine.

This is a color combination I wouldn't think of but, they manage to make it look like it belongs here - it does.
