What you can expect

Our tour begins in the Plaza del Arenal, the historic center of the city and witness to centuries of history. Here you will learn about the stories of the reconquest and its transformations over time.
We will enter the Barrio de San Miguel, one of the most emblematic areas of Jerez, where you will discover the importance of this neighborhood in the flamenco and wine-making history of Jerez, as well as see the exterior of the Church of San Miguel, with its impressive Gothic and Baroque architecture.
We will continue to the Alcázar de Jerez, an architectural gem of Arab origin dating back to the 11th century. From the outside, we will admire its sturdy walls, towers, and emblematic entrance gate. This place was a military stronghold and Almohad palace, and later the residence of Christian governors. Our tour guide will transport you back in time with fascinating anecdotes about its uses and influence on the history of the region.
Opposite the cathedral, you will enjoy a privileged view of one of the most impressive monuments in Jerez. This monument combines Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical styles in a unique architectural masterpiece. We will walk around its outer perimeter while the tour guide explains the details of its construction, the secrets of its dome, and its importance as a religious symbol of the city.
The Plaza del Arroyo offers us a charming respite. Surrounded by historic buildings, this square is ideal for enjoying the calm and beauty of Jerez. Here, our tour guide will tell you stories about the nobility who lived in this area and their relationship with the wine trade, one of the economic engines of Jerez.
Our last stop in the historic center will be Plaza de la Asunción, one of the most beautiful and oldest squares in Jerez. Here, the church of San Dionisio and the Cabildo Viejo stand out as notable examples of medieval and Renaissance architecture. This is where centuries of art, history, and tradition converge, and we will invite you to take the best photos of the tour.
Equestrian show at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art. Once the visit to the historic center of Jerez is over, customers must make their own way to the equestrian show. We recommend arriving 30 minutes before the show starts (12:00 noon).
We will end the experience at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art. Here, you will enjoy the spectacular show “How the Andalusian Horses Dance,” an equestrian ballet that combines the skill of the riders with the elegance of the Andalusian horses. This internationally renowned show is a tribute to equestrian art and an expression of the Andalusian soul.
