Jerez deserves more than a stop on the way to the beach. Its walkable centre brings together Moorish architecture, lively squares and sherry bars; horses and flamenco add another side of the city.

For one day, focus on the old town and book one main experience. A second day gives you time for a bodega and the Santiago and San Miguel neighbourhoods.
