Jerez de la Frontera

Jerez de la Frontera extends across a fertile plain along the Guadalete River, surrounded by vineyards and agricultural fields in southwestern Spain.

The Romans established a settlement called Asta Regia, which later transformed under Moorish rule until King Alfonso X of Castile captured it in 1264.

The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art maintains traditional horse training methods, showcasing performances that combine classical dressage with Spanish elements.

The Circuito de Jerez racing track hosts annual MotoGP events and Formula 1 testing sessions, bringing international motorsport enthusiasts to the region.

The city contains numerous wine cellars where sherry matures in a specific microclimate, using a traditional system of wooden barrels stacked in cathedral-like spaces.
