Jerez de la Frontera, nestled in the heart of Andalusia, in the province of Cádiz, is a city of unparalleled charm, famous worldwide for three distinctive elements: the production of the eponymous Sherry (Vino de Jerez), flamenco, and the Andalusian horses. The atmosphere is authentic and vibrant, a combination of equestrian, oenological, and musical culture. It's the ideal place for a luxury and charming experience, combining the elegance of historic hotels with the deep passion of its traditions.

What our travel designers recommend seeing: Emotions and Tradition

• The Sherry Cellars (Bodegas) – A visit (and tasting) to a historic cellar like Tío Pepe or González Byass is an unmissable experience to understand the art of this fortified wine.
• Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art (Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre) – Attending the show “How the Andalusian Horses Dance” is a pure emotion, combining equestrian mastery with classical ballet.
• Alcázar of Jerez – A fortress of Almohad origin with lush gardens and an ancient mosque converted into a chapel. A sunset visit offers unique photo opportunities.
• Santiago and San Miguel Quarters – The cradle of the most authentic flamenco; we recommend finding a Tabanco (an old tavern where sherry is drunk and singing takes place) for an unforgettable evening, perhaps at Tabanco El Pasaje.

Gastronomy and What to Taste

Jerez's cuisine is closely linked to its wine, Sherry, which is used in many preparations.

• Seafood Tapas – Being close to the coast, Jerez offers excellent frituras (fried dishes) and Sanlúcar prawns (langostinos).
• Rabo de Toro – Braised oxtail, a classic of Andalusian cuisine, often cooked in Sherry.
• Ajoblanco – Cold soup made with almonds, bread, and garlic, typical of Andalusia.

CULTURE and Unmissable Events

Jerez is lively all year round, but spring is its peak.

• Festival de Jerez – One of the most important flamenco and Spanish dance festivals in the world, held in February/March.
