The city of Jerez de la Frontera with its international airport lies inland from
Cádiz, a fantastic location, not far from the lovely
Puerto de Santa Maria, Chiclana and Cadiz itself.
Its main industry is Sherry and Brandy production and is also famous for Andalucian horses and
flamenco. Jerez is the capital of Sherry country. “Jerez” is actually “Sherry” mispronounced, centuries ago by British wine importers. It is home
to many of the big names (González Byass, Emilio Lustau, Garvey, Emilio Hidalgo, John Harvey, etc). But Jerez de la Frontera is also world famous
for its magnificent dancing horses, which you can see at the Real Escuela Andaluza de Arte Equestre – the Royal Andalucian School of Equestrian
Art, at Avenida de Abrantes.
On Thursday mornings there is a spectacular display of dressage. Jerez is also famous for its long-standing flamenco tradition, making it an
excellent place to witness this extraordinary art. The Centro Andaluz de Flamenco is housed in the Palacio de Penmartín, which stands on the Plaza
de San Juan, No.1. Close by are the other cities of the Costa De La Luz, Huelva and the famous
Seville.
