Jerez the soul of Andalusia , an exclusive and distinctive
city , monumental and appealing.The monumental complex
of the Alcázar de Jerez, which was constructed
in the twelfth century and constitutes one of the few
examples of Almohad architecture that exists in Spain
, is a visit not to be missed.When you finish you will
still have time to see the Archaeological Museum, the
Watch Museum, the Centro Andaluz de Flamenco and to
marvel at the famous La Cartuja Monastery.
To end the day , go to the Cámara Oscura, from
which you can observe the perimeters of Jerez.The best
way to see these places is by attending the autumn fiestas
, when the wine, the flamenco and the horses will make
it even more enjoyable.
In the bullring stadium the Bulería Fiesta is
held each year , the expression par excellence of Jerezano
song.An interesting program of flamenco acts, ranging
from the most innovative to the most traditional , has
been added to this festival.
If you're in the mood, the best thing is to view the
interesting Equestrian Cycle of the Spanish Association
of Jumping Horse Breeders or go to the Viallavicencio
Palace to sample the wines that are offered in the International
Salon of Fine Wines hel in May "Vinoble".
The last day of the Salon , the Jerezanos keep alive
the tradition of the "Trampling of the Grapes"
and the blessing of the new wine in the environs of
the Cathedral.
