A Calm, Practical Food Guide for Visitors
The Jerez Festival has its own charm.
Mornings are for horses and heritage. Afternoons drift into long lunches. Evenings unfold slowly with flamenco, conversation, and the promise of good food just around the corner.
Instead of listing everything under the sun, this guide follows the flow of a festival day and highlights a small number of places in the areas you’re most likely to be.
