What to do in Jerez de la Frontera

Jerez de la Frontera is the world capital of classical dressage and the nerve centre of equestrian tourism in Spain. Horse riding routes through the Guadalquivir marshes, the jerezana campiña farmsteads and the cork oak forests of the Sierra de Cádiz provide access to landscapes of great natural and agricultural value, with equestrianism as the common thread. Hiking through the Guadalquivir marshes delivers an exceptional birdwatching experience: flamingos, spoonbills, storks and ducks gather in the flood zones between Jerez and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Mountain biking has compact-earth routes crossing the Jerez wine-growing Marco and connecting with the Sierra de Grazalema. Kayaking on the Guadalquivir allows exploration of the estuary and marshes from the water on one- or multi-day journeys. The active tourism offering is rounded out by cultural and wine tourism routes through the Sherry triangle bodegas, combining nature, history and gastronomy in a single getaway.
