Each of the many different cultures that have settled here over the
past few centuries have had an enormous influence upon the physical
appearance of Jerez and numerous archaeological remains which bear witness
to the fact can still be seen, both in the surrounding countryside and
within the city itself. Archaeological remains from the Phoenician Xera,
the strongly Roman Ceret, and the important Muslim Sherish, merge with
the beauty of the later Christian buildings to offer a wide range of
architectural styles and distinctive edifices which all combine to give
Jerez a truly individual urban physiognomy of great beauty.
Few places in Spain can be said to enjoy the international renown of
Jerez given that, thanks to its sherry wines, the name of the city crossed
international borders many years ago and has since gone on to become
truly universal.
But Jerez is not just a city of wines and beautiful buildings, it has
much more to offer than that: home of the Carthusian horse, the fighting
bull, cradle of flamenco art, capital of motorcycle racing and home
to international sporting events, and on top of all that, declared to
be of Artistic and Historical interest.
Nowadays Jerez is a large city where long-standing traditions coexist
in perfect harmony with the modern: large shopping centres and wide
avenues converge upon the historic, cheerful and bustling city-centre,
where shopping and tapas go hand in hand. All of these distinctive features,
together with a privileged geographical situation and climate, a unique
and distinct tourist attractiveness, and modern infrastructures, all
make Jerez the perfect place to live in and to visit.
