A Stroll Around Jerez in Southern Spain – A Self-Guided Walking Tour Itinerary Charming flamenco peñas, quaint neighbourhood bars, and ramshackle old houses complete the picture.
Turn a corner and you’ll stumble across a whitewashed sherry bodega with arcaded courtyards, tiny vineyards, and, glimpsed through the arches, dimly lit cellars housing old wooden barrels. Like its sister Andalucian cities of Seville, Granada and Cordoba, Jerez has an abundance of gorgeous buildings to admire – a Moorish Alcazar with a mosque and Arab baths, the ruins of city walls, gates and watchtowers, a monumental Cathedral with breathtaking architectural flourishes, and dozens of splendid churches with flamboyant facades.Įverywhere you gaze, there are gracious sandstone buildings with intricately decorated portals, elegant wrought-iron balconies, and, concealed within, pretty tiled patios. We recommend doing it in the late afternoon or early evening in summer. Here’s a stroll around Jerez for you to do. Boasting a lovely old centre that is largely pedestrianised, cobblestoned lanes lined with fragrant orange trees, and countless plazas boasting fountains, sculptures and alfresco cafés, Jerez (Jerez de la Frontera) is a real treat to explore on foot.
