Looking to take a trip outside of Seville in July or August? Why not visit Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia\u2019s 5th largest city! Jerez has its own airport, a bustling train station, bus connections and a modern highway. Need more convincing? Here are our top four reasons you should visit Jerez in summer!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Four<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s close to the beach!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our first reason to visit Jerez in summer are the sea breezes and nearby beaches. Jerez may sit inland, but light winds from the Atlantic ocean make it a cooler destination than Seville. Plus, you can get to nearby beaches in the blink of an eye!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, Valdelagrana<\/em> in El Puerto de Santa Mar\u00eda<\/em> or C\u00e1diz<\/em> city beaches are both easily reached by car or commuter train in under thirty minutes. Next, if you\u2019d rather get off the beaten path, try the sandy shores of Conil de la Frontera<\/em> or Los Ca\u00f1os de Meca<\/em>. Finally, if you\u2019d like a little history to go with your suntan, visit the Roman Ruins at Baelo Claudia<\/em>.<\/a> Tickets are only a 1.50\u20ac to visit the museum and archaeological sight, then drop by beautiful Bolonia<\/em> Beach after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spain’s oldest wine-making region!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rioja<\/em> and Ribera<\/em> may be household names, but in Jerez they\u2019ve been making wines since before Roman times! The city has a sherry tradition over 2,000 years old and the name Jerez translates to sherry in English! Learn all about the fascinatingly complex and totally unique range of sherry wines in Jerez by touring a local bodega. <\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s Gonzalez Byass<\/a>, home to the famous Tio Pepe and an annual live music festival<\/a> in August. Likewise, a walk and tasting at Domecq<\/a> is another option to see one of the city\u2019s oldest bodegas,<\/i> whose wine cellars once covered whole city streets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marvel at the Dancing Horses of Jerez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our third reason to visit Jerez in summer is to see famous Andalusian horses in action. The iconic stallion breed is both beloved and revered in the city of Jerez. Catch a world-class dressage show at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art<\/a> (Avenida Duque de Abrantes S\/N<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a more laid-back look at these magnificent mares, don\u2019t miss Jerez\u2019s Feria del Caballo<\/i>, similar to Seville\u2019s iconic April Fair<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immerse Yourself in Flamenco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reason number four to visit Jerez in summer is for the music. Jerez has a flamenco tradition all its own, a dancing and singing style known as buler\u00eda. <\/i>In summer, the city abounds with opportunities to enjoy fierce flamenco performaces alongside locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday nights in July and August take in a live show<\/a> at the Moorish fortress, known as the Alc\u00e1zar de Jerez<\/i>. There\u2019s also the International Buler\u00eda<\/i> Music Festival, celebrating its 50th anniversary! From August 24th through the 26th, singers, dancers and guitar players will pay tribute to this special style of flamenco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shows are easy to enjoy any day of the week at one of Jerez\u2019s many tabancos. <\/i>These local bars provide impromptu performances with music often spilling out into the streets. Tabanco<\/i> El Pasaje<\/i><\/a> (Calle Santa Mar\u00eda, 8)<\/i> is a must. There are evening shows Wednesday through Sunday, and don’t forget to pair with a tapa or two<\/a>, and a sherry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
