As usual, we got back from our road trip tired. Everything started badly when Eyquem had a non-night on the Friday night, thus we started later than we would have wanted, and with a tired driver. From then on things started getting better, even though we have to remember that some of those white villages, while good to stop to visit, are not that awesome when it comes to finding something to eat (in this case, Alcala de los Gazules, the problem was that the restaurants where not in the nice part of town) Anyways, it was nice passing by the Alcornocales park, material from which you certainly have touched before: it is one of the main wine cork producing places in the world. After a stop at the Cartuja (if you are there earlier on a Saturday you should visit the horse place, la Yeguaia de la Cartuja, origin of the Andaluz horse (el Cartujano) ) we hit Jerez. Problem was to park, but in the end we made it. Jerez seems a nice enough place, but as expected it is better to visit during the week, so as to taste Sherry wine. We arrived at our super hotel at 8:30, too late for the spa (they rescheduled us, but anyways kids can’t go in) and more importantly too late to get dinner. So we put the kids in bed, with difficulty, Gadea being super excited, and then dosed off. The next day, after breakfast, I was given the opportunity to go to the spa (nice) as Noe didn’t feel like it. We then went to Cadiz, which turns out to be a very nice place. It was still carnival week, so we sampled the mood, enjoyed the sun and the food. At 5:30 we hit the road, and stopped at Trafalgar (cap, not square) to enjoy the sight, give Eyquem some food, and let Gadea run in the sand (and see Africa). We then went on the very nice coastal road, before hitting the highway and getting back home, where the kids went much more easily to sleep (home is not as exciting as the Barcelo Costa Ballena it seems). – Photo Gallery coming soon…<\/p>\n
Comme d’hab, on est rentr\u00e9 fatigu\u00e9 de notre fin de semaine. Les choses s’\u00e9taient mal emmanch\u00e9es, Eyquem ayant connu une non-nuit le vendredi. Nous sommes donc partis plus tard que pr\u00e9vu, et avec un conducteur fatigu\u00e9. Mais cela a \u00e9t\u00e9 en s’am\u00e9liorant, m\u00eame si nous devons nous souvenir que les villages blancs, chouettes a visiter, ne le sont pas toujours pour manger (dans ce cas, Alcala de los Gazules, le probl\u00e8me \u00e9tait que les restaurants se trouvaient dans la zone moins chouette). C’\u00e9tait de toute mani\u00e8re chouette de passer par le parque des Alcornocales: vous avez certainement eu entre vos mains du mat\u00e9riau venant de cette zone, c’est une des zones d’o\u00f9 se fabriquent le plus de bouchons de li\u00e8ge! Apr\u00e8s un arr\u00eat pour voir la fa\u00e7ade de la Cartuja (si vous \u00eates dans la r\u00e9gion un samedi matin, il semble que cela vaille la peine de visiter la Yeguaia de la Cartuja, origine des chevaux Andalous, cheval que l’on appel el Cartujano en espagnol) on est arriv\u00e9 \u00e0 Jerez. On a du chercher un peu pour trouver un parking (les rues sont \u00e9troites) mais Jerez est un belle petite ville. Dommage que l’on \u00e9tait Samedi apr\u00e8s midi, et que donc les Bodegas \u00e9taient ferm\u00e9es…le X\u00e9res sera pour une autre fois! On est arriv\u00e9 vers 8h30 \u00e0 notre super h\u00f4tel, trop tard pour notre spa (ils avaient oubli\u00e9s de nous dire que l’on avait un rendez vous pour 5h30, mais ils ont proposer de le remettre au dimanche matin) et surtout pour manger. On a donc mis les petits au lit, difficilement car Gadea \u00e9tait super excit\u00e9e, puis on s’est endormi. Dimanche, j’ai pu profiter d’une heure de Spa, Noem\u00ed ne voulant pas, puis nous sommes partis pour Cadiz, que nous avons vraiment appr\u00e9ci\u00e9. C’\u00e9tait encore semaine de Carnaval, ce qui nous a permis de conna\u00eetre l’ambiance r\u00e9put\u00e9e! D\u00e9part de Cadiz vers 5h30 et arr\u00eat pour nourrir Eyquem vers 6h30 a Trafalagar (cap, non pas square). Bel endroit et Gadea en a \u00e9galement profit\u00e9 pour se d\u00e9gourdir les jambes (et voir l’Afrique). On a ensuite pris la rout c\u00f4ti\u00e8re jusqu’\u00e0 atteindre l’autoroute, et \u00e0 10h30 on mettait les enfants dans leurs lits sans probl\u00e8me (il semble que notre appartement est nettement moins excitant que le Barcelo Costa Ballena…).- La galerie photos suivra bient\u00f4t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
