7th of June: private walking tour of Jerez
–
3pm: meet your personal local host at hotel Casa Palacio María Luisa and start a private walking tour of Jerez old town aimed at setting the context for your stay in the city. Along the tour you will be explained about the Hispanic-Muslim origins of the city and about the transformations that it experienced (architecture, urban-planning, social composition and overall character) with the Christian conquest in the 13th century and later in the 18th and 19th centuries when the local wines (sherries) became probably the most fashionable drinks in the world.

The tour will take you first to the quarters inside the old city walls to later show you and explain about the first suburbs that developed outside along with the bourgeois areas where the sherry merchants erected the mansions and sherry aging facilities that Jerez is known for today. You will also understand how Jerez became one of the most prosperous cities in Europe thanks to its wine making industry and how this prosperity came to an end leading Jerez to becoming the humble and relaxed city it is today but that keeps the pride and splendor of its golden age.

To finish you will be taken to one of the flamenco quarters of the city. Jerez is the cradle of flamenco music and during this last part of the tour you will learn how flamenco emerged from South West Spain as a result of the slow fusion of the ancient multicultural musical heritage of Southern Spain with the original gypsy rhythms and musical roots.

5pm: end of your tour and rest of the afternoon and evening at leisure.
