Good orientation plays a great role, so we recommend you go with comfortable clothes and shoes and accompanied by a good map. You can get one at the city’s own Tourist Office.
Start from the Tourist Office towards the Royal Alcazar to visit its spectacular gardens and rooms in a great state of conversation. Inside the Alcazar you will find the Villavicencio Palace. This Renaissance building has a camera obscura formed by a set of lenses. Continue to the Jerez de la Frontera Cathedral, with its Gothic facade and gargoyles. Go down its stairs to reach the Plaza de la Encarnación. When crossing it, you will reach the Andalusian hammam. Once you are at the entrance, you feel peace thanks its many water sources. Its decoration makes you move to the East itself or to that Jerez from a few centuries ago. Its treatments are inspired by ancient ones.
On the way to the next stop you can see the Bertemati Palace. It was built by the marquises of the same name. The facade is baroque and from the wooden ceilings hang impressive lamps. A few metres away you will find the Craft Bazaar, a multi-storey building full of premises dedicated to typical Moorish and Spanish crafts. There is also a restaurant in this Bazaar, where you can try their avant-garde Andalusian and Mediterranean food.
In the next part of the Jerez de la Frontera panoramic tour, go to the city centre. The next square is Plaza de la Asunción, which is very well known for being the almost nerve centre of crikeys (zambombas) in the middle of the street and during Holy Week. The Church of San Dionisio, Mudejar style, is in the middle of the street. This church is dedicated to the patron saint of Jerez because it was reconquered on its day. Continue to the Church of San Marcos. A few metres away you will find the Palace House of Pérez Luna. Like most palaces in Jerez, its style is Baroque and was part of a family of intellectuals.
Walk around the Plaza del Mamelón. See the different hotels around before retracing your steps and visit the Convent and, above all, the Convento de Santo Domingo. This was one of the first buildings that were built after the reconquest.
In the last section of the tour, through Larga Street, you will see Fundador‘s building. It is one of the most emblematic images of the city. It could appear on any postcard!
Along the tour you will find bars, tabancos and restaurants where you can take a break or eat something tasty.
Right next to it you will find the Mercado de Abastos (Jerez Market), where you can find a wide variety of products from the area. Finally, the tour ends in Plaza de las Angustias, one of the first places that were made with the concept of garden city movement. It has different species of trees and the Church of Las Angustias on the back.
