Puerto Sherry

Another lovely, if hot, day. Returning from my morning shower I discovered that "Aurelia" had just arrived and was berthed a finger away.

They had left Sines a day after us and had followed the same route apart from an extra stopover on the Algarve.

A quiet day with a trip into El Puerto de Santa Maria for a coffee and to locate an internet access point.

Later in the evening I was invited to the Tomas "El Nitri" Flamenco Club. This was part bar, part club, part theatre and part restaurant which receives some commercial and some government cultural sponsorship. It was quite small and packed for the performance which started at around 23:00.

We were entertained by Virginia Velez on vocals and her flamenco group comprising a guitarist and three female dancers. They were stunning. Straight up, no frills traditional flamenco, wonderful.
