    In Jerez de la Frontera in the province of Cádiz, much revolves around sherry, flamenco, and horses. The city is known for its Bodegas, where you can taste the various sherry types from Fino to Oloroso. A highlight is the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art (Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre) with its show “Cómo bailan los caballos andaluces”. The historic center, with the Cathedral and the Alcázar, an 11th-century Moorish fortress, invites you for strolls. Many famous flamenco artists hail from Jerez; the Centro Andaluz de Flamenco is located in Palacio Pemartín. In May, the Horse Fair (Feria del Caballo) takes place. For a deeper insight into sherry production, a guided tour through a traditional Bodega is worthwhile.
