The Andalusian Jerez De La Frontera

The traditional Jerez

Jerez de la Frontera is the Andalusian town that attracts tourists with its rich historical heritage, its famous Bodegas, the popular Relojes Museum and the beautiful Equine School.

The town is famous for one other thing: the delicious sherry. Jerez de la Frontera, together with other two small towns situated nearby (Sanlucar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa Maria) represents the only place on the Globe where the much appreciated sherry is produced.

The wines produced by Jerez de la Frontera and by El Puerto do not differ much from one another, but Sanlucar distinguishes itself with a very fresh flavor that only exists there.

A flourishing Jerez de la Frontera

Jerez de la Frontera has always based its economy on the brandy and sherry production; this industry has brought a lot of money to Jerez de la Frontera and has helped the tourism industry grow and develop.

This led to Jerez being one of the most successful and famous towns in Spain, a town preferred by tourists who choose Andalusia as destination for their holiday. Jerez de la Frontera still has a strong word to say as it is part of the sherry dynasties that influenced old Anlo-Andaluz.

In fact, the touristic slogan for Jerez is ‘’Pura Andalusia’’, so you have to visit it in order to come into direct contact with some pure Spanish atmosphere. The town embodies everything that is beautiful in the region: the rich land barons, the imposing palaces, the grand estates, the finest horses, the bullfights, the passionate flamenco music, the welcoming inhabitants and the delicious wine.

There is no reason why one should not turn his or her attention to Jerez de la Frontera. This is a ‘’must see’’ place on your list, a destination that you should not avoid during one of your holidays. Jerez is also a perfect place for those who love sightseeing; you have to visit the Equestrian Art School, one of those places where they do magic with the horses and do not forget about the Relojes Museum.

This museum is famous in Europe for being the biggest that hosts working time pieces. 300 of these beautiful objects are displayed here, so you understand why it is a ‘’must’’ on your sightseeing list. If you decide that Spain is the perfect holiday destination for you, please offer some of your attention to Jerez too; it really is an amazing place!
