Slowing down time in Andalucía: Jerez de la Frontera..

My husband and I have been renting the same apartment in Jerez de la Frontera for about 5 years now.  The lay out of the building is traditional for the region: central interior patio and a garden in back.  The greens are intense, just bordering on out-of-control.
As we approach winter the dizzying floor tiles seem to hold onto the cold, even after the bottles of butane arrive for the stove.
Even this time of year, when the sun hits the terrace it’s warm and we head for it with our Kindles, embutidos and fino. It’s not a bad way to pass the time.
The cultural meld that makes up this region is fascinating: Spain meets North Africa.  There’s a pattern.
