Jerez

Jerez de la Frontera is the largest city in Cadiz Province and has a population of over 200,000 people, and is one of the prettiest cities in Andalucia. Jerez is often described as a mini Seville, with its narrow cobbled streets lined with busy Tapas bars and boutiques. The larger tree lined avenues are often covered with purple blossom making picture postcard scenes for photo opportunities. Jerez has a beautiful centre full of Moorish Palaces and Churches including the 12th century Plaza del Arenal and the Municiple Archeological Museum in the Plaza del Mercado, which is home to one of the region’s best collections of artifacts, dating from Paleolithic times to the 18th century.

Jerez is famous for its sherry and Brandy and to see just how varied sherry can be you must take in a tour of one of the big Bodegas in Jerez, such as Pedro Domonecq or Gonzalez Byass who is the maker of Tio Pepe, the world’s best selling dry sherry.

Jerez is also famous for its Cartujano dancing horses and Famenco dancing, the Real Escuela Andaluz del Arte Ecuestre – The Royal riding school is based there. These famous Andalucian horses perform weekly synchronized shows, but don’t worry if you think you have missed one as the daily training sessions are also open to the public.
Jerez also claims to be the home of Flamenco and you can always join in at one of the many shows available most nights of the week.
