Jerez de la Frontera




"Siempre tierra de frontera. 

Frontera con los moros que no se querían ir.

Frontera con África, frontera con el descubrimiento

y conquista de América,

frontera por la Ilustración que entró

por los muelles de Málaga y de Cádiz.

Frontera de España con sus símbolos más universales,

que aquí somos tan generosos que prestamos a la Patria

los toros, los caballos, el vino y el cante

como elementos identificadores de la cultura.

Elementos que, si bien los consideramos,

resulta que son todos de Jerez.

Los caballos, de Jerez.

El vino, de Jerez. El mejor cante, de Jerez,

cuando no es de Sevilla, de Utrera o de Los Puertos.

Y los toros, de Jerez,

de las dehesas de la carretera de Medina.

Querer quitarle todo esto a Jerez

es como privar de identidad a la ciudad.

Tan absurdo que si le quitamos la Frontera a Jerez..."

Antonio Burgos

Itineraries



Visit to Jerez and wineries

Herd of horses Visit

This is a morning dedicated to the Cartuja-Hierro del Bocado ´s herd of horses. Cadiz is probably the Spanish province where horses have adapted best to a natural environment and where equestrian tradition is shown in great force. Because of these equestrian roots, whose ancestors can be found in the tartésica mythological culture that was developed in this area, there are many activities related to the horse world that this land offers its visitors. The old pasture of Fuente del Suero embraces the Spanish horse reserve of the most important Carthusia lineage in the world. Their beauty, strength and spectacular nature have brought international prestige and national pride to these horses.
