Sanlúcar!

Sanlúcar de Barrameda is a town at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River (I suppose the town at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River) which has, as locals never tired of telling us, a unique microclimate. It also has: eccentric museums (unfortunately shut for the nonce because of an ongoing legal dispute);

bodegas, which make the excellent Sanluqueño sherry (more above);

enthusiastic children who run around the main town square (maybe not so enthusiastic in this photo, but he certainly put the effort in);

and a café mocked up to look like a carriage on the Orient Express. Here we are in what looks like Virginia.

Here's another photo of the weird café, because I don't think I'll go back there for a while.

The town, as a whole, was great.
