I really want to visit the city of Jerez as I have heard it is absolutely beautiful. It is also the home of sherry and I can organise a tasting for those that would like to sample some.

If you really want to get a feel for Andalucia and its culture, there is no better place to start than in Jerez de la Frontera.

While not as in your face as the much bigger Seville and Granada, Jerez de la Frontera is equally famous for its beautiful horses as it is its delicious sherry.

With a history that dates back to the time of the Moors, Jerez de la Frontera boasts a charming Old Town (Casco Antiguo) with palm-fringed plazas and a partially restored Moorish fortress.

Of particular interest is the town’s church which was initially constructed as a mosque.

Inside the Sacristy of the Cathedral del Salvador is a painting by 17th-century Spanish painter Francisco de Zurbarán titled “La Virgen Niña.” Renowned for his religious paintings, Zurbarán was often called the “Spanish Caravaggio.”

Today Jerez de la Frontera has an aristocratic feel, thanks to its wide streets, squares, and colorful jacaranda trees that bloom in spring.

Finer details
We will book flights nearer the time. These should cost around £100. You have the choice of returning on the Sun and staying for 2 nights or the Mon and stay for 3 nights. All I will need to secure your place on the trip is a £50 deposit which will come off the cost of the hotels which look like they will be around £100 for 2 nights and £150 for 3. I am only asking for a deposit as a way of having your commitment before I spend a lot of my time researching the trip. Please book on if you are interested and I will be in touch.
