Free Historical Tour of Islamic Jerez to the Winery City
Overview of the tour in Jerez de la Frontera
Art, culture, and tradition are combined through the streets of Jerez with aromas of wine and orange blossom. We will start our tour in the Plaza del Arenal, where there are games and equestrian shows. From there, we will go to the Alcázar, a fortress from the Almohad era, to discover its history.
We will stop to see the weather vane of Bodegas Tío Pepe and the monument to the founder of the Bodega. Our tour will continue to the Cathedral, built next to the space that was occupied by the Great Mosque.
We will continue to show you the Old Town Hall, in Renaissance style, the Mudejar Church of the Patron, and the Tower of the Watchtower, passing through charming squares, of which we will tell you about their origin and curiosities, some from the medieval period and others surrounded by orange trees and palaces of winery families with interesting stories. We will walk along Calle Larga, the main street of the city where you can see the remains of the wall inside some of the premises.
We will tell you anecdotes and the origin of unique buildings related to the wine industry, such as the emblematic building of Gallo Azul or Los Tabancos.
