Sunshine, charm, magic and some rather amazing surprises live here. Flamenco is a way of life but so is the Equestrian Ballet - amazing and majestic dance displays by the worlds most beautiful horses can be seen at the Royal Equestrian Centre every Thursday - don't miss this treat.

Gastronomic delights fill the air - garlic, seafood, salads, fresh breads and the local wines - you can either choose to dine in one of the many intimate and stylish restaurants or take a pew at one of the many tapas bars - order a selection of small dishes and share with friends.

Take a tour around one of the bodegas - Gonzalez Byass, Pedro Domecq or Sandeman and at the end enjoy the sampling session you will be invited to - you are sure of a relaxing afternoon - take that siesta and take a leaf out of the Andalucian lifestyle.

There are a couple of interesting places to visit such as the Clock Museum - filled with over 300 clocks - be there on the hour and have every sense in your body filled with the sound of TIME!!

Take a relaxing stroll around the Zoologico gardens and visit the animals too.

There's a museum of Flamenco Art and Arab Baths dating back to the time when Jerez was part of the Caliphte of Cordoba.

Home to the Formula One Grand Prix - be here when that's on and you will simply scream and screech with delight along with the power and speed of the engines - hair raising event!
