Andalucian tour; Jerez

We arrived at Hotel Doña Blanca in Jerez at about 20:30 on Sunday evening. No dining room so asked for advice re. dinner. All the 3 restaurants suggested were closed so we ended up eating Chinese. The streets were quiet and the Plaza Arenal was empty. The next morning it was open for business as shown in the pictures, and very pleasant it was.
We did two sherry tours, Gonzalez Byass (very touristy) and Domecq (more serious). Unfortunately the sherry offered for tasting was, in our view, either too dry or too sweet. Our favourite in the UK is Croft's 'Particular'.
The next evening we did find some good Spanish food and fine Spanish wine, just off the plaza.
