And all this can be found in the most wonderful location, Jerez, just between the mountains and the sea. It’s a perfect starting point for several excursions and visits to the area.

Through its history, Jerez has been an enclave with a great influence from the different cultures that have been settling in the area. This influence has turned Jerez into a city with a wide range of architectural styles and outstanding buildings that brings out a very peculiar city layout. Jerez is internationally well known due to its Sherry wine, and very few places in Spain have such recognition. But Jerez can offer much more than that: it’s the land of the Cartujan Horse, the fighting bull, the birthplace of flamenco, the motor racing city… Nowadays Jerez is a big city were tradition and modern styles live in perfect harmony: big shopping centers, wide avenues merging into the lively and busy city center, where you can either shop or enjoy the tapas. All these distinctive features, along with its superb location, its weather, its unique tourist attractions and the new infrastructures make Jerez the perfect choice.

Wine, horses and flamenco are the tourist icons of Jerez. Some products have been created around these three icons and they can be enjoyed along elaborate routes consisting on high quality establishments and institutions.

Jerez is also natural and sustainable. It offers several options to enjoy the countryside: a nice walk around the city through its parks and its gardens. Visit the protected natural reserves, which are very close to the city and of a great botanic and ornithological importance. You also have the possibility of practicing an endless list of outdoor activities, since there is a vast area of countryside. The “urban nature” can be found in the parks and gardens located around the city and inside the wine cellars, where we can see different kinds of animals and plants, most of them brought here from America by the wine producers. All the wetlands around the city are also highly interesting, where a lot of bird species can be seen all year round. 

Since Jerez is one of the biggest and most varied shires in Andalucía, hundreds of country states and meadows can be found all around its land. There are also vineyards and mountains where nature reaches its best: streams, lakes, lagoons, rivers, mountains, hills. These are the best ingredients to practice all sorts of sports and active tourism with a wide range of possibilities.
