Things to Do in Jerez de la Frontera

The Alcázar of Jerez is a site of great historical interest. And I don't say this just because I worked there as a guide; it is reflected in being the most characteristic and visited monument in the city. From the Almohad period (12th-13th centuries), inside we can admire the only mosque currently preserved in the city, some Arab baths, mills, towers, and even a palace from the 17th-19th centuries.

A walk around the surroundings of the Alcázar will lead us to discover some of the most outstanding elements of the historic center of Jerez: the Church of San Miguel, Plaza del Arena, Calle Larga, the Jewish quarter... Each of these places hides a piece of the history of the city, of Andalusia, and of Spain without having to go far.
Finally, we will arrive at the Cathedral of Jerez. A superb building with remarkable artistic elements both on its exterior and interior.

The visit will start at the gate of the Alcázar. Once seen inside (only in the mornings), we will head towards San Miguel. From there, we will go down Calle Larga with the Gallo Azul to cross some of the most emblematic squares, such as Plaza Plateros and Plaza de la Asunción, before reaching the Cathedral, where we finish. 

Jerez and its history through a pleasant walk.

* IMPORTANT: To enter the Alcázar, a ticket is required. It costs €5 or €1.80 for those born and residing in Jerez, retirees, students of any age and country, and people with disabilities. The Alcázar is only open in the mornings starting from October 1st.

Jerez is world-renowned for its wines, horses, and flamenco, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.

However, our city also has another less known but equally important historical and artistic heritage , part of which I invite you to discover. on a private and personalized tour, with a maximum of five people per visit: the great Andalusian medina of Šarīš (شريش) from the 8th to the 13th centuries , with winding, narrow streets among which were located more than twenty mosques, and which was repopulated by Christians and a hundred Jewish families from 1267.

We'll begin the tour by entering the old Muslim city through the space once occupied by one of the main gates to the medina: the Seville Gate, opposite the monumental cloister of the Santo Domingo Convent , with remains that could date back to Jerez's Andalusian period. From there, we'll explore the beautiful and, in some cases, mysterious alleyways that lead to the Jewish quarter and the six neighborhoods of the old town: San Marcos, San Juan, San Lucas, San Mateo, San Salvador, and San Dionisio.

Our tour will end at the Plaza del Arenal , a space that housed an enormous maqbara or cemetery from the Andalusian period, the largest of the two it had, and which we will reach through the beautiful Pescadería street , delimited by the wall and very close to the remains that are still preserved of the old Puerta del Real or del Marmolejo.

I'll be waiting for you!
