Zoobotanico Jerez


Since we are lucky enough to be enjoying a mild winter here in southern Spain we decided to take advantage of the 60 degree weather and head out to the zoo in Jerez - a short 20 minute drive away. The kids enjoyed an afternoon out and Madeline slept the entire trip so all went well. We even came home to a hot cooked meal as we are very fortunate to be receiving 7 weeks of meals from our friends here in Rota. The zoo here is not like zoos in the U.S. in that you are very close to all of the animals and they are accustomed to being fed table food by visitors so they stand at the fences begging for food. At times we felt too close! It is a good place for a short day trip but definitely not an every weekend trip.

How we travel: 3 kids and 1 stroller

Owen's favorite exhibit - he kept saying "more, more"

The Spanish have some interesting clothing styles!
