Jerez has a reputation of being the cradle of Flamenco Art, being defended
by experts as the Mecca of Flamenco Singing.
If we had to stress the flamenco styles which characterize Jerez along the history
of this art, we would have to mention "seguiriyas" and "bulerias",
with creators of these two styles that have passed to the history of flamenco
singing with their own mark.
ANDALUSIA’S ROMERIA
The ‘Mini-Rocio’ or Andalusia’s Romeria, as it is known, is
a recreation of one of the purest and most popular ‘fiestas’ of Andalusia.
The intention is to create as accurate a representation as possible, holding the
Romerias in areas full of vegetation such as the vineyards near Jerez, country
houses, farms, and estates. We can also hold Romerias by the river Gualdalquivir
and even travel by boat, disembarking on river jetties where visitors can enjoy
watching a great variety of aquatic birds, a real spectacle to behold.
THEMATIC DINERS
Over the last years, congress and meeting tourism has become a referent for the
province of Cadiz. This tourist sector is completely qualified to generate many
attractions and it offers a rest from the frenetic life and the problems at work.
Lunches and thematic dinners constitute the most suitable means to achieve it.
WINE TASTE
One of the most characterizing places in this area is the wineries, the so-called
wine cathedrals in which visitors will know step by step the history and the aging
process of such drinks. They will visit the courtyards, gardens and will taste
different wines in these very centres. Wine tasting courses are frequently held
and it is taught the way you must analyze through your senses, describe your perceptions,
compare them in relation with certain rules and express your opinions reasonably.
Wine tasting means: Trying to know a product whose quality we want to perceive
through our senses (specially taste and smell).
QUADS
Visitors are offered the chance to enjoy some adventure days close to nature and
drive the famous quads in Cadiz Province. Apart from visiting attacking bull cattle
and stud farms, they are also given chance to go all over the local vineyards
through rural paths and cattle tracks. Besides, we propose visitors routes along
medium and high mountains. If they want to drive a quad with one or two seats,
they must have just a driving license for motorcycles with powerful engine as
quads are surprisingly easy to drive.
DESPESQUE MEAL
This activity is as old as the salt mines in this area. It consists in the collection
of fishes caught in the marshes where they grow and reach maturity in the course
of the year. These kind of small shallow lagoons contain calm warm water and a
great quantity of plankton.
