Jerez de la Frontera is a municipality in the province of Cadiz, Andalusia in southern Spain. As of 2005, the city had 196,275 inhabitants; making it the largest city in the province of Cadiz. It has become the transportation and communications centre of the province, surpassing even Cadiz, the provincial capital, in economic activity. Jerez de la Frontera is also, in terms of land area, the largest municipality in the province.
The capital of sherry wine, the horses, and flamenco, Jerez, located midway between the sea and the mountains, has an affluence of appealing tourist attractions, many of them related to the three preoccupations that made the city famous. Any visitor will wish to see the famed vineyards, stop at a sherry bodega to see how the fortified wine is made, and taste the product as well. Jerez is the home of the Royal Andalusia School of Equestrian Art, a riding school comparable to the world-famous Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria. Jerez, the city where flamenco singing began, is also proud of its Andalusian Centre of Flamenco. There are two museums of note: the Jerez Archaeological Museum and a watch museum.
