Jerez, Spain - Botanical Zoo

This is at the Jerez Zoo that was a really great little trip out of Rota that was super easy for Owen and the stroller. The land was originally the site for the town's water tanks in 1889 from the Tempul spring 46 km away in Algar. The water passes through several reservoirs on its route to Jerez. Part of the aqueducts are originally from the Roman times and had a large restoration project that finished in 2008. In 1939, the site became a public garden that is considered one of the oldest in Spain.  In 1953, the 1,300 animals covering 200 different species were added to the landscape making the zoo that is seen today.

Our lunch was comprised of some "American" hotdogs that had fried onions as a topping along with the ketchup and mustard. It was surprisingly good.
