You will find us in the charming town Jerez de la Frontera, situated in the province of Cadiz, in the southwest of Spain.

Jerez de la Frontera is a lovely town with little International tourism to mar it's traditional Spanish atmosphere. Jerez de la Frontera and Cadiz are among the oldest towns in Europe and have a rich cultural history as a result of their combined European and the Arabic roots. Jerez de la Frontera is to day world famous for its sherry production and its renowned dancing horses ofthe Royal Andalucian School of Equestrian Arts situated in the city.

Easter week ("Semana Santa") is a good time to visit Jerez. The nightly processions by religious brotherhoods, with their old "pasos" (floats) and hooded penitents, are a feast for the senses. From the smell of incense, to the wail of the trumpets - from the flicks of candals, to the shuffle of feet beneath the floats, as the town's young men carry their icons through the streets. Theses processions appeal to both the deeply religious and the non-religious alike, as they can be viewed with either an eye to their expression of profound religious commitment, or to their display of such, cultural tradition. In either case, Semana Santa in Jerez is undeniably a moving experience.

With its 300 days of sun, the town is among the sunniest in Spain, which makes it an excellent starting point for a visit to one of the many beautiful beaches along Costa de la Luz. Also well-known are the many small, beautiful white villages which surround Jerez. These, along with Jerez, abound with a variety of cultural festivals and seasonal bullfights.

The horse fair or "Feria del Caballo" in May is one of the most famous and colourful festivals in Andalusia. It is a weeklong celebration of all the things Jerez is famous for, and which Andalucians love: flamenco, sherry, bullfighting and horses. This is the festival of joy and happiness all Jerezanos look forward to.

These and many other festivals are characteristic for the region and absolutely worth a visit.

Nestling in the south-western corner of Andalucía, in the north-west of the province of Cadiz, Jerez can be seen to enjoy a truly privileged geographical location: lying in a fertile area formed by the plain of the Guadalquivir, on the banks of the river Guadalete and just a short drive from both the Atlantic beaches and the Gaditana mountain range.

A marvellous geographical situation, midway between the mountainside and the coast, where over 3,200 hours of sunshine grace the town with mild temperatures year round. The gentleness of the climate, with temperatures averaging 11º C in winter and 25º C in summer, softened by both its proximity to the sea and its very geographical latitude, means winters are mild and summers pleasant.

Sanlúcar and Chipiona are only 15 and 20 mins away, as is the unrivalled National Park of Doñana, Cádiz, the capital of the province, is only 20 minutes away, as is the beautiful Atlantic Coastal Route.
