A GUIDEBOOK OF JEREZ

Jerez is one of the most important cities for flamenco in the world. There are many flamenco performances of flamenco throughout the year especially during and just after summer. Throughout the year you can also book a ticket to see a show at the Villamarta theatre. Tickets are always reasonably priced and there is a great atmosphere inside. If you want to see something more intimate you can try one of the flamenco tablaos such as the 'Tabanco Cruz Vieja' or Tabanco El Pasaje.

It's normal procedure in most of Spain except perhaps in some of the bigger cities like Madrid or Barcelona to order a drink and then pay the bill when you are ready to leave. This might mean you need to pay for several drinks if you are with friends and family.

Unless you are planning to take some trips to some of the beaches or mountain towns you don't need to have access to a car. Everything is reachable on foot.

The summers in Jerez are quite long so no need to bring a jacket if you are coming in the summertime. Also bear in mind that in the peak summer season it is too hot to be walking around during the day so try and wake up early and walk around the city and spend the day at a local beach or relaxing inside.
