Southwest of Seville, Jerez is a well-heeled place. It’s the home of the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art and its famous dancing horses; if you’re on a budget or can’t be there for a formal performance, it’s worth dropping in to catch a morning training session. The other major reason to visit Jerez is to sample its most famous product—sherry. You can do this at a number of bodegas associated with the world’s best-known brands, including Bodegas Tio Pepe, The House of Sandeman, Jerez, and Pedro Domecq. They’ll soon have you knowing your amontillado from your oloroso. There’s also an Alcázar, dating back to the time of the Almohads, which features a small mosque, now the chapel of Santa María Real.

The Andalusian horses are one of the best reasons to visit southern Spain and this show is a wonderful way to see those horses featured. Andalusians are the root breed of the famous Lippizanners of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. See the horses and riders in this riding school in Jerez, especially with the backstage tour by the head rider, is aweinspiring for anyone who values the pure beauty of the horse.

This is well worth a visit if in Jerez and only costs 5 euros. The Alcazar has a lot of original Moorish building remaining; walls, octagonal tower, a small mosque, bath-house etc. It is not on the scale or with the elaborate decoration of the Alcazar in Seville or the Alhambra in Granada. However, I would say that the castle elements are better preserved and more interesting that the Alcazar in Cordoba but without the latter's lovely gardens. A Baroque Palace sits in the grounds and is an interesting building in its own right. On the top floor is a reconstruction of a 19th Century pharmacy and a camera obscura (2 Euros for the latter). The other floors are unfurnished but had an interesting display of old Festa posters from the 19th Centurty to the 1950s.

Water fountain, ample space, gardens; walking slowly in a cool morning with sunshine was a complete delight.
