Jerez is
a unique European enclave located in south-western Spain. Over
the years the mild climate of the area and the influence of ancient
Mediterranean civilisations have left their mark both upon the face
of the city and the character of the people who live there, combining
to produce a way of life which makes this part of the world so special.

The Andalusian
city of Jerez rests mid-way between the Atlantic coast and
the mountains of the Sierra de Cádiz. This privileged geographical
position is responsible for the mildest of climates, with average
yearly temperatures of 20ºC, and over 3,000 hours of year-round
natural sunlight of the highest quality.

with flights to all major Spanish cities and European capitals; a
rail network with connections to the rest of Spain; an extensive
road network and an excellent tourist infrastructure.
