7th of August 2024: Jerez orientation tour
–
6:30pm: meet your personal local host at your accommodation in Jerez and start a private walking tour of the old town with a special focus on its Hispanic-Muslim origins and on 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.

Your 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 sherry merchants erected the mansions and 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.

9pm: end of the tour at the restaurant where you have a reservation.
