Jerez Spain

Strolling through the monument- filled streets of jerez is a divine pleasure, especially when the traveller finds in this city a leisure and cultural offering that few places can make. In late February flamenco and Spanish dance are combined, while in April during the Holy week, which is of National Tourist Interest, the brotherhoods march through the impressive historic city centre to the sound of saetas with the fragrance or orange blossoms wafting over the entire city. Jerez is better known though for its Horse Fair, where it is a strange sensation to see how during the fiesta its more than two hundred perfectly decorated booths are transformed into a city. During the Fair equestrian activities such as working with cattle on horseback, animal judging, carriage exhibitions, a raid and a contest of chase and pulling down of cattle. Aside from all these spectacles, you can witness the magnificent Gala Exhibition of the Royal Equestrian Arts School of Andalusia or the Yeguada of Cartuja-Hierro del Bocado.

Motorcyclists from all over Spain drive down every year to Jerez to see the most emblematic test of the world motorcycle championship. It is three exciting days with the emotions at a fever pitch when the competitors rev their motors in this thrilling circuit. You can advise to make a reservation ahead of time in order to enjoy the races and all the sideline acts that are organised. Try to arrive on a Friday to enjoy a night of flamenco in one of the fan clubs in the city. Different styles including toná, siguirilla, saeta, soleá and bulería will be ringing in your ears as much as the roar of the motorcycles.
