Insider tip
Take the early-morning boat trip to Sanlúcar on day two to experience manzanilla in its original fishing-village context before crowds arrive—El Guisante Verde and Barbadillo's beachfront bars offer unfiltered versions unavailable elsewhere. The Tuesday masterclasses at Instituto del Vino are free and worth restructuring your schedule around.
