Jerez de la Frontera is one of the cities with the most cultural identity in Andalusia: birthplace of Sherry wine, a world reference for flamenco, and home to the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art. Three traditions that blend into daily life, giving the historic center a very recognizable character.

The wineries — many of them centuries-old — open to the public for guided tours that explain the Sherry wine process, from aging in soleras to the different varieties (fino, manzanilla, amontillado, oloroso). The Alcázar, the Cathedral, the flamenco neighborhoods, and the equestrian shows complete a visit that hardly fits into a single day.

Book in advance for visits to the major wineries and equestrian shows. For flamenco, look for small venues where the closeness to the artist is part of the experience.

Jerez doesn't just produce wine: it has made it part of its way of living, along with singing and horses. Three ways of understanding the same thing: time, patience, and craft.

LIVVO Tip: Visit a winery to learn about the sherry-making process.
