I really recommend this tour. Done in English the guide was knowledgeable, informative and helped make the tour a success. The story of “Jerez” is so interesting, and complex. So much history in this small family owned bodega

We booked this tour online having seen some fantastic reviews and were also advised not to go on the tours of the big Bodegas (that's up to you but a little research will tell you why !!) .. Being out of season in February was great as we were the only people on the tour which was brilliantly taken by Valentina who was really really great, friendly and very informative .. can't recommend her highly enough !! And at the end we had 6 different sherries to try along with some fab tapas !! What was supposed to be an hour's tour turned into an hour and half as we were not pressured at all to finish our tasting as we chatted to Valentina about the history of the Bodega, Jerez .. the City and life in general in the area .. thoroughly recommended !!! Ooh and bought a bottle of Fino for us and went back the next day to the shop they have to buy another bottle for friends .. who are connoisseurs and they loved the Fino !! Enough said !!

Archeology, fine arts and ethnology museum. Important collection of Phoenician World and Murillo, Zurbarán, Rubens, Zuloaga, Sorolla, Miró... paintings
Reviewed By Pensionado - Castricum, The Netherlands
This museum has a very interesting archaeological section with finds from all periods showing that the region around Cádiz was inhabited from Neolithic times on, making Cádiz the oldest, permanently inhabited city of Europe. Especially the unique Phoenician finds are worth seeing including two marble anthropoid sarcophaguses. On the first floor is the fine art collection with a room dedicated to the Spanish painter Zurbarán and another to Murillo. For everybody interested in ancient culture and art, this museum should not be missed.

5. Fundacion Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,010 reviews
The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art Foundation, in Jerez de la Frontera, is famous all over the world for its show called "How the Andalusian Horses Dance", a unique exhibition of horsemanship which both exhibits and summarises the work which the institution has carried out since its establishment. Although the show "How the Andalusian Horses Dance" may be considered the highest attainment of the School's work, there are other aspects which are regarded as equally, or even more important, for the Institution. Among these, we would like to highlight its role as a social and cultural vehicle for our equestrian heritage, the selection and promotion of horses, the training of Haute Ecole riders, the preservation and promotion of Classical and Country Dressage (Doma Vaquera), maintaining the prestige of our horsemanship, the breed of our Spanish horses, our traditions and culture. Furthermore, the show enables the Royal School to play host for the Province of Cadiz and to act as ambassadors abroad on annual tours to various foreign countries. In addition to the show, you might enjoy a visit to our training facilities as well as the Museum of Equestrian Art and the Carriage Museum.

A wonderful visit to see the horses in training, the palace lived in by the Sandeman family, the carriage museum and stables and best of all, the show - 'How the Andalusian Horses Dance'.
6. Gran Teatro Falla

Reviewed By MikeL383
Externally this is a wonderfully imposing building reflecting the mudejar influences with its promises of untold delights inside; seriously beautiful building! I did take a gamble to see a concert which was a mixture of flamenco, jazz, singing, guitar and dance; it paid off it was brilliant. Internally the decoration doesn't match up to the splendour of the Wakefield or Leeds Grand Theatres and the air conditioning was a bit lacking, but the overall atmosphere was superb. Another example of how Cadiz can enter into your soul.

Reviewed By Dakles - Southampton, United Kingdom
I love traditional, old facilities that are still being used by people n the same way as they have been over the decades and this indoor food market is exactly that. It has a superb selection of offering with sections for fruit & vegetables, fresh fish and meat & cheese, plus a stall for purchase of draught sherry. It’s hugely popular with locals and is a great place for shopping or for just experiencing local culture. Churros and coffee are available from a stall in the square outside.

Beautiful sherry winery, with plenty tasting options, with or without food. Bodegas Lustau is considered a world-class benchmark for top-quality wines. Lustau’s philosophy has remained unchanged since its inception in 1896: to provide consumers with the widest and most select range of Sherry specialties. In 2016, Bodegas Lustau was named Best Sherry Producer by the International Wine and Spirit Competition and ranked number 7 in the WAWWJ “Top 100 wineries in the world” annual ranking.

I had the most delightful 5 sherry and 1 vermouth tasting tour of this spectacular Bodega. Carmen, our guide, was able to answer all our varied questions in excellent English. I learned, and have remembered so much and now appreciate Sherry wine so much more. The Palo Cortado was spectacular! Thank you Carmen and hope you all keep well.
