Trips from Jerez
What to see in Jerez de la Frontera in one or two days
An easy route through the Alcázar, cathedral, bodegas and tabancos, with time to enjoy the city.
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.
