Jerez (officially, Jerez de la Frontera) is one of the best tourist destinations in Andalusia. This vibrant city boasts an old town full of art and secrets that we recommend exploring with Free Walking Tours in Jerez. In this way, tourists will enjoy the company of a local guide passionate about their city who will share insightful information about the local culture, religious traditions, festivals and Flamenco music. The Essential Jerez City Tour is a good introduction to the most famous landmarks inside the walled old town. In addition, tourists will also get good recommendations on what to do and what to see during the rest of their stay. For travelers who want to get to know the city at night, we recommend the Free Myths and Legends Tour in Jerez. This is a highly entertaining experience where guests can walk around the city at night and discover its spookiest side.

Most Jerez Free Walking Tours will take guests for an exploration of the impressive Alcazar. This Moorish fortress, built in the 12th century, offers spectacular panoramic views over the rest of the city. In addition, it is the perfect place to learn about the multicultural past of this ancient city and how the Arab imprint has shaped its gastronomy, music and architecture. Once down in the city center, it is important to visit San Miguel Quarter. Walking through cobblestone streets lined with white houses decorated with flowers, tourists will find the Church of San Miguel and Arenal Square. In this neighborhood there are many squares with lively bars and terraces where tourists can taste the famous sweet wine produced in the region. Nearby is Santiago Quarter, one of the cradles of flamenco, and home to the Cathedral of Jerez and also the Basilica of Our Lady of Mercy.

Did you know that, in the past, sherry wine was only produced in one place in the world? Yes! That’s why Jerez has become synonymous with its most famous export: sweet wine! That’s why, after joining Free Tours in Jerez and spending one day sightseeing in the old town, so many tourists book private tours to explore the many wineries in the region. Here, visitors can learn how the wine is grown and aged, taste different varieties for free and even buy some bottles as souvenirs. Additionally, there is a vibrant flamenco tradition in Jerez. Santiago, one of Jerez most traditional quarters, is home to many local artists and there are many “tablaos” offering daily flamenco shows. Finally, Jerez is also well-known for its horse-riding passion. The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art is a good place to attend the Andalusian Horses Dance Show: an equine ballet accompanied by traditional Spanish music.
