About this tour
This session moves from the flower stalls of Plaza de las Flores to a nearby sherry bar, showing how the square connects the market to the evening's first drinks. You see the flower trade still running into the evening and a counter of fino sherry glasses explained side by side. The route stays short, built around the early evening hour.
We begin at the flower stalls with a quick check of the light, then move to the bar counter, pausing to explain the sherry styles in some detail. Questions come in freely as we go, and I send a short note on fino versus sweeter sherries afterward.
This suits travellers curious about sherry beyond the sweet versions sold abroad, and anyone easing into an evening out. It runs early enough to lead naturally into a longer night elsewhere.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
