About this experience
Discover Jerez beyond postcards on a private guided tour of the Old Town. Start with a private guided tour of the historic Jerez. Accompanied by a passionate local expert, you will explore the heart of the city and its rich cultural mosaic: - Jerez Cathedral, mixing Baroque, Gothic and Neoclassical styles; - The Alcazar, an ancient Moorish palace steeped in Andalusian history; - Plaza del Arenal, the lively heart of Jerez. You will learn how flamenco was born, not in theaters, but in courtyards, markets and nameless streets. After the walking tour, take a gastronomic route through the traditional Tabancos. Your sensory journey continues through four historic tabancos, the iconic wine taverns of Jerez that once sold wine by the carafe and now host spontaneous flamenco shows.

Detailed itinerary
1
Discover the flavours of Jerez on a gastronomic tour of the historic centre. Enjoy four sherry wines accompanied by tapas and watch a flamenco show in an intimate atmosphere.
Start your visit with a gourmet walk through the historic centre. Discover the origin of the tabancos and visit the historic Mercado Central de Abastos, where flamenco art is highlighted among the stalls.
Mercado Central de Abastos (Central Market) stands on the stones of the former San Francisco Convent. Its 19th century structure is home to one of the most authentic markets in Andalusia, where time seems to have stood still among its tiled and wrought iron walkways. Built in 1885, this iconic space is not only a shopping destination, but a true cultural sanctuary where local cuisine meets the purest expressions of flamenco de Jerez.
2
Then head to four traditional tabancos to taste four different types of sherry wines. Enjoy Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez or Cream, accompanied by typical Andalusian tapas. Meet the locals and discuss cultural and gastronomic topics together, enjoying the moment.
3
Finally, meet in an intimate setting to attend a private flamenco show. Share a table with local artists and listen to live songs, guitars and rhythms without fuss.
