Hotel Boutique Palacio Corredera

Simple, chic, minimalist décor creates an elegant feel at the charming and understated Hotel Boutique Palacio Corredera in the heart of historic Jerez de la Frontera, often referred to simply as Jerez. Upon arrival, you'll quickly settle into your impressive, bright, airy, and spacious room, where comfort is paramount. You'll find a stunning array of artworks and furnishings throughout the hotel, celebrating a mix of classic, contemporary, and Andalusian styles.

After a great night's sleep, feast on a tasty and generous continental breakfast. Ease into your day and take it slow, perhaps reading your book in the spacious lounge before stepping outside to explore the sights of Jerez. With many places discoverable on foot, it's easy to take it all in.

Start with the dramatic Cathedral of Jerez (Cathedral of San Salvador), a harmonious mix of Baroque, Neoclassical, and Gothic styles, followed by the Alcázar – an 11th or 12th-century fortress with its recognizable octagonal tower, Moorish gardens, camera obscura, and Arab baths.

If you're interested in horse riding and equestrian traditions, the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art is a must-visit. There, you can attend a horse show showcasing dressage and the dancing Carthusian horses, a unique Spanish-Arabic breed famous in the area.

Be sure to stop and refuel during your wanderings at one of the many restaurants or tabancos (traditional Andalusian wine bars) for tasty tapas. Plaza de la Yebra is popular among the locals and boasts some of the best spots. And of course, you must take a tour of one of the city's bodegas (wine cellars), topped off with a flamenco show – this is where it all started, after all – and it's the perfect way to end an evening in this fantastic city.
