From Eating and drinking...
I spend my first night in Jerez de la Frontera eating lots of meat... And there's no better place to do that than Meson del Asador. Here's a look at our selection of pretty substantial tapas dishes as well as a little more on this popular restaurant in Jerez de la Frontera.
From Destinations...
On a recent visit to Jerez de la Frontera in Spain's Andalucia, I spend a morning at the Alcazar and learn a story about a fortress that's lasted centuries. And despite its changing hands throughout its history, there's never been any doubt to this historic fortress' importance to the city. They also have a camera obscura, which is definitely worth a look just to marvel at the ingenuity of this old method of taking pictures as well as being a chance to see the city from a different perspective.
From Airports...

From Car hire...
Americans will be more familiar with the Dollar Thrifty brand but with the recent announcement to expand its operations across Europe, they may well be changing that. Will you see be using a Dollar Thrifty car hire the next time you're on holiday?
From Travel news...
Thinking of a holiday in Menorca, Ibiza or Mallorca? Good news as we've just heard that a proposed eco-tax which would have hiked up the prices of your Spain car hire on the island has been postponed. Hurrah!
From Festivals and events...
In several cities in Northern Portugal, June features the much loved festival of São João. MC Hammer would be proud because here it really is hammer time as people take to the streets for music, eating, drinking and hitting people over the head with a plastic hammer. It's fun, frivolous and you're invited!
