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.

The port city Cádiz is considered one of the oldest cities in Western Europe, founded by the Phoenicians as Gadir. Its old town, on a narrow spit, offers narrow streets, watchtowers and squares, with Atlantic beaches like La Caleta right beside it.

The Costa de la Luz, the "Coast of Light", stretches along the Atlantic from the Portuguese border to Tarifa. It is characterized by long, wide sandy beaches and a particularly clear light, plus historic cities like Cádiz and Jerez, white villages like Vejer, excellent conditions for wind and kitesurfing, and a cuisine rich in fish and sherry.

Andalucía in the south of Spain combines Moorish palaces, white villages, long beaches, Flamenco and a distinct tapas culture. The autonomous community is Spain's most populous and one of the country's most versatile travel regions.
