Tonight, you’ll come together for dinner in a local restaurant.

Today it’s back on the road – with stops at the picturesque white villages of Grazalema and Arcos to look forward to. This afternoon you’ll set your sights on Jerez – where you’ll be treated to a sherry tasting session and tapas lunch at a local winery.
