The Point Break and The Matrix star, 58, was spotted at a restaurant in Jerez de la Frontera and, although the reason for his choice of holiday destination was not revealed, Reeves is known to be a huge fan of motorsport, particularly bikes, and of the race track in the Cádiz-province town.
Named after the late MotoGP '12-plus-one'-times world champion Ángel Nieto – who never referred to his title total as '13' for superstitious reasons – the Jerez circuit is widely known as 'the cathedral of motorsport'.
It's also the birthplace of sherry – and, in Spanish, this liqueur is simply known as jerez, or as fino.
