What to do and see in Jerez De La Frontera, Andalucia: The Best Tours

June 18, 2021 Phylicia Berquist

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.

Gabriella and Juan were wonderful tour guides - we learned so much and saw some wonderful sites. They picked us up from our hotel right on time and we enjoyed an entertaining and educational road trip to Ronda. We loved this town and the great stores about Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles made it even more enjoyable. Sentinil is such a cute town as well and the houses and bars against the mountain are so unique! We had a great time and we highly recommend this tour! ????

Enjoy a private tour to the White Towns of Andalusia. The White Towns of Andalusia are a series of towns in southern Spain, mostly within Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. All of the villages are characterized by white washed walls and red or brown tiled roofs. Some say that these villages paint the white house to ward off the intense summer heat that affects mainly the towns along the Sierra de Grazalema. But keep whitewashed houses is a very ancient custom in the Mediterranean to disinfect the environment in the plague epidemic period. The lime mixed with water produces a high heat kill any microorganism. Therefore, people living in cities with houses "whitewashed" ended up escaping more disease than those who did not. Today times have changed, but the tradition is still alive, somehow, marking the time to paint the facades (whitewashed). So much so that in some pueblos blancos, you can paint the exteriors of homes without taxes.

Guided tour to a winery and relaxed Sherry and Brandy tasting straight from the barrel. Introduction to the ancient relationship of the Jerezanos to the wine while walking through the historic center to the bodega (about 15 minutes), visiting places that tell us something about that history. At the winery, we learn first hand everything about the production of Sherry and Brandy. Of course, we also take time to taste these fine wines and spirits, most of them directly in the wine cellar. This tour is designed only for small groups – I prefer a familiar atmosphere.

Inclusions: Guided tour and commented wine tasting, Entrance to the winery, 5 different Sherry wines and 1 Brandy, 1 small tapa (e.g. olives), Guide certified in wine tourism (Sherry Council)

Sherry is not only a drink but an experience. Guided tour to discover both the vineyard and the wine cellars. So we learn first hand everything about the production of Sherry Wine and Sherry Vinegar. Of course, we also take time to taste these wines, preferably straight from the barrel. This tour is designed only for small groups – I prefer a familiar atmosphere.

A very pleasant tour. We met Andreas in a city centre location, then had a relaxed walk for about 15 minutes to the bodega. During that time Andreas told us something about the history of sherry. At the bodega we looked around the premises and tasted five sherries plus one brandy, some of them drawn from the barrel. The tour really helped our appreciation of the drink, and Andreas' English was very clear. I would suggest this tour needs to be better classified in Trip Advisor. It is listed under 'Tours' but not under 'Food & Drink' so would be easy for someone searching for a sherry experience to miss.

Traemos a nuestros días bailes y cantes olvidados, esencia de maestros, que son la raíz. Nos alejamos de lo comercial, del engaño del flamenco para guiris, del convencimiento e imagen vendidos fuera de España, del concepto del flamenco como sevillanas, rumbas y panderetas. Nos alejamos de las tecnologías inexistentes en el siglo XIX, etapa en la que el Flamenco era verdad, ya que sólo había cante, guitarra, palmas, baile. Los únicos dos ingredientes que usamos son alma y corazón, aderezados con una entrega visceral de los artistas que no cuentan con guion, ni con una composición estructural. La improvisación, la emoción, el sentimiento, eso que llaman “duende”, el flamenco de tú a tú, como decía el gran director Peter Brook “uno haciendo y otro mirando”. Si das verdad el espectador se lleva verdad, si lo das todo no estás obligado a dar más y si te emocionas trasmitirás emoción. El acercamiento del flamenco de verdad al pueblo.

Inclusions: Live entertainment

I booked and paid for two tickets at €30 each ten days ago and was looking forward to the show tonight. At lunchtime today I received an email saying a ‘very important client’ had booked out the whole venue at short notice and my tickets were therefore cancelled. If I wanted to come tomorrow, that would be okay with them. As this was my final night in Jerez, I pleaded with them to allow me to come tonight, but no; the ‘muy importante cliente’ had reserved the whole place. They are promising a refund ‘in a few days’ but I found this episode infuriating. Please don’t support an establishment that treats normal patrons in such a disgraceful way.

Even if you are not an ardent ‘horsey’ person you will love the day. From the morning watching the training and apprentices working the horses to the 90 minute show we loved it. Skill of the highest calibre. A must visit when you are in Jerez.
