A picturesque city set between the Atlantic Ocean and the Cadíz Mountains, Jerez — formally Jerez de la Frontera — is a wonderful destination steeped in a rich Moorish heritage. With a gorgeous Old Town of palm-fringed plazas lined with cafés and tapas bars, and a beautiful 11th-century castle, this is one of Andalucía’s most vibrant small cities. Fit for a range of tastes and budgets, most of the best places to stay in Jerez are set close to heart of the city, perfect for exploring. We do have one rural favourite, however, for those eager to unwind in the tranquility of a vineyard-framed lodge.

Culture and history buffs will delight in strolling through Jerez’s ancient streets. The 17th-century Cathedral del Salvador is striking, as is the crenelated 11th-century Alcázar of Jerez de la Frontera. Both are well worth visiting, either independently or as part of a guided city tour. Discover Andalucían sherry-making at the Bodegas Tradición — simultaneously an impressive art gallery — and watch an unusual performance at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art.

Jerez is also famed for its flamenco, which you can experience at the Andalusian Flamenco Foundation Museum as well as in the city’s lively bars and live music venues. Dance the night away before returning to one of the best places to stay in Jerez!
