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 Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art Foundation, in Jerez de la Frontera, is famous all over the world for its show called "How the Andalusian Horses Dance", a unique exhibition of horsemanship which both exhibits and summarises the work which the institution has carried out since its establishment. Although the show "How the Andalusian Horses Dance" may be considered the highest attainment of the School's work, there are other aspects which are regarded as equally, or even more important, for the Institution. Among these, we would like to highlight its role as a social and cultural vehicle for our equestrian heritage, the selection and promotion of horses, the training of Haute Ecole riders, the preservation and promotion of Classical and Country Dressage (Doma Vaquera), maintaining the prestige of our horsemanship, the breed of our Spanish horses, our traditions and culture. Furthermore, the show enables the Royal School to play host for the Province of Cadiz and to act as ambassadors abroad on annual tours to various foreign countries. In addition to the show, you might enjoy a visit to our training facilities as well as the Museum of Equestrian Art and the Carriage Museum.
A wonderful visit to see the horses in training, the palace lived in by the Sandeman family, the carriage museum and stables and best of all, the show - 'How the Andalusian Horses Dance'.

I love traditional, old facilities that are still being used by people n the same way as they have been over the decades and this indoor food market is exactly that. It has a superb selection of offering with sections for fruit & vegetables, fresh fish and meat & cheese, plus a stall for purchase of draught sherry. It’s hugely popular with locals and is a great place for shopping or for just experiencing local culture. Churros and coffee are available from a stall in the square outside.

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.

The most important reserve of Andalusian Horse, Carthusian lineage is located in the outskirts of Jerez de la Frontera. Visits are held every Saturday at 11.00. Guided tour + show in the main arena. Opened only Saturdays from March until November.
We booked the Saturday tour and show online and the price was very reasonable for what we experienced on the day. Location is not that good to find with a SAT NAV, so take your time to plan your route if you are driving there. If you have printed off your online ticket confirmations with your seat numbers on, you do not need to queue at the ticket office, go directly to the attraction entrance and show your booking confirmations. Once inside you will be split into groups according to your language. Our guide was Vicky who was excellent. The tour explains the history of the stud farm and day to day running. You will be able to stroke the horses, as they are very calm and friendly. The horses are clearly very well cared for by the staff. The show takes place in the second half of the visit and was very good. There are toilet facilities, a shop for souvenirs and refreshments are available. There is no cafe or restaurant. I would highly recommend this attraction.
