Jerez de la Frontera
The home of sherry, where you can visit century-old bodegas for tastings and watch the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art's "dancing horses" show.
Jerez lies about 90 km south of Seville, roughly one hour by train. Sherry can only be produced in the "Sherry Triangle" formed by Jerez, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Guided tastings are available at old bodegas such as González Byass (Tío Pepe) and Lustau. The school's signature show, "How the Andalusian Horse Dances," is usually staged at midday on Tuesdays and Thursdays (with extra performances in high season), and tickets should be booked in advance. The old town also has a Moorish castle and a cathedral, and it is a major centre of flamenco.
Opening hours
Riding school shows usually Tue & Thu 12:00 PM (check official website)
