The Councillor for Tourism in Sanlucar, Antonio Reyes, has announced the town’s plans for the celebration of World Sherry Day. Over the next month, many bodegas will host doors open days, tastings and visits. Reyes said that really, Sanlucar has reason to celebrate 365 days a year, given the “natural and permanent theme park of wine and gastronomy” which attracts ever growing numbers of visitors. The town tourism department will organise vineyard visits, historical tours, visits to the Wine Interpretation Centre, all sorts of guided visits, even activities on the Guadalquivir, the common thread of all of which, is Manzanilla. Manzanilla Day is the 26th June. More information at www.sanlucardebarrameda.es

The vintage carousel, long a summer attraction in the Plaza Arenal in Jerez will open from tomorrow till the middle of November. For the first day, a kilo of food will be donated to Caritas for every ride taken. The food will go to the Salvador dining room, which provides food for the most needy.
