Jerez the soul of Andalusia , an exclusive and distinctive city , monumental
and appealing.The monumental complex of the Alcázar de Jerez,
which was constructed in the twelfth century and constitutes one of
the few examples of Almohad architecture that exists in Spain , is a
visit not to be missed.When you finish you will still have time to see
the Archaeological Museum, the
Watch Museum, the Centro Andaluz de Flamenco
and to marvel at the famous La Cartuja Monastery. To
end the day , go to the Cámara Oscura, from which you can observe the
perimeters of Jerez.The best way to see these places is by attending
the autumn fiestas , when the wine, the flamenco and the horses will
make it even more enjoyable. In the bullring stadium the Bulería Fiesta
is held each year , the expression par excellence of Jerezano song.An
interesting program of flamenco acts, ranging from the most innovative
to the most traditional , has been added to this festival.
If you're in the mood, the best thing is to view the interesting Equestrian
Cycle of the Spanish Association of Jumping Horse Breeders
or go to the Viallavicencio Palace to sample
the wines that are offered in the International Salon of Fine Wines
hel in May "Vinoble". The last day of the
Salon , the Jerezanos keep alive the tradition of the "Trampling of
the Grapes" and the blessing of the new wine in the environs of the
Cathedral.
