Jerez de la Frontera, or Jerez for short, is perhaps best known for the fortified wine (sherry) that takes its name from the city. It is a traditional Andalusian city that dates back to Moorish times. Much of the charm and aristocratic air of the city can still be seen and felt today in the Casco Antiguo (Old Town), the wide streets, and tree-lined squares.
Your guide will meet you at your hotel to begin this 3 hour private walking tour of the Old Town. You will learn about the Hispanic-Muslim origins of the city, how it was transformed when conquered by the Christians, and the impact that sherry had when it became one of the most fashionable drinks in the world in the late 18th to 19th centuries. The tour will include a visit to a local market to learn about the key role it plays in the local community. The last stop on the tour will be a visit to a local sherry bodega (winery), where you will be taken on a private tour that will conclude with a tasting of selected sherries.
