can annyone tell us if it's easy to get a taxi from Jerez de la Frontera station to the horse riding establishment? And how much time it will take to get from the station to the riding establishment (by taxi)?

Thanks

Hi I have been to Cadiz once with my wife and 3 kids 4 years back, thought it was a wonderful place. As Ryanair fly into Jerez I was thinking of staying in Jerez for a week. Q Is the beach in Jerez as nice as Cadiz and also the city itself. We will have 3 kids from 5-7 years with us.They adore going to the beach. Also How much would we have to pay for a weeks stay in a decent hotel. We want to be close to city and beach. Any information on renting an apartment for a week instead of going to a hotel, price etc appricated thanks Sevvy , all tips welcome

I have just accepted a job in Jerez de la Frontera in a school but I'm not too sure if I want to live in the town of Jerez, as I don't want to run into my students on my days off. How far is it from Jerez to Cadiz? Could I travel by bus every weekday morning?
Are there any other nice towns close to Jerez that would be nice to live? Also how much should I expect to pay for an apartment? I will be working in the school for at least 1 year so it would be a long term rental.
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

Hello,
we'll stay in Sevilla from 16 untill 24th of June. On the 19th we're going to Jerez to see the Analusian Horse show. We've allready purchased our tickets but I'm not sure if these tickets are only for the show or if they also allow us to visit the stables etc.
Can anyone tell us the fare for a taxi from Jerez station to the Real Escuela?
We'd also like to go and see the Gonzales Byass bodega (to see the mice). Can we do both in one day (how long does the bodega-tour takes?)and can we go from the Real Escuela to the bodega on foot?
And again, what would be the fare for a taxi from bodega Gonzales Byass to the Jerez station?
Thanks a lot

Hi we will be staying in Jerez at the end of August for a week at Villa Jerez.
My husband and I are travelling with our teenage boys and my elderly parents. My younger son and I are vegetarian/vegan, I don't expect to have a problem at the hotel but we would like to try the local bars and restaurants,can you recommend any that would possibly be prepared to adapt items on their menu to accommodate us? Fortunately my husband's family are from Gibraltar and his Spanish is quite good. Thank you.

Hi

Hey everyone.I am moving to Jerez for the year starting October 2006 as part of my Spanish degree course.I am going to be teaching in Arcos de la frontera. I am looking for shared accommodation with other students. Grateful for any advice or contacts you could give me. Thanks. Rachel xxx

Sorry I didn't post these all at one time. Anyone have info re: Museum of Time and Mystery of Jerez shows?? They sound pretty touristy to me, but would not want to miss them if they are amazing. Thanks

What is best way to travel from Cadiz to Jerez? I read that having a car in town is a liability. Taxi? Train? Hire a driver?? Thank you for you help.

Will be in Jerez November 8, but only for the day. Where will I be able to see Flamenco?? I have read a lot about penas but are they open for performances during the day?

Hi everyone!

We are flying into Jerez and have a week to explore the region. We would like to visit Seville, spend some time in Cadiz and visit Gibraltar. Is one day enough to explore Seville or is more time needed? Where is central to stay so that we can get to places within an hour or so or would it be best to do a 2 centre holiday?

Does anyone know whether special trains/buses run from Jerez de la Frontera to Cadiz (and vice versa)during the Feria. When I say "special" I mean trains/buses that depart very, very late (or early hours of the morning) back to Cadiz!! Looking forward to your replies.

I had pre-booked accommodation in Cadiz when I realised the Feria del Caballo was taking place in Jerez de la Frontera. Can anyone tell me if special buses or train are provided for the Feria period from Jerez to Cadiz - especially one that runs really, really late!!!

Look forward to your replies.

Hi,
We are planning on going to the Motogp at Jerez in March this year. We've got a flight that arrives in Jerez late on Sat eve but the race starts early Sunday morning. Does anyone know how close the airport is to the circuit and if transport to the circuit will be easily available on the Sunday morning of the race..? Are there any local hotels or B&B's that someone could recommend?
Many thanks!

We are hoping to relocate to the Jerez area soon - Can anyone tell me approximately how much we can expect to pay per month for a long term rental - 3-4 bedroom property. Also roughly how much the utility bills might be per month. Any help or advice would be welcome. Thank you

After the VT meeting in Marbella, we were thinking of visiting the Feria del Caballo (May Horse Fair) in Jerez for a day or two. I can't find much detailed information on the web about what's going on, timetable etc, or entry and ticket details. I see from this forum that some of you have good local knowledge, and hope that you can give me further details. We will also need somewhere to stay for maybe three nights, and I see that our usual hotels are either not taking bookings at the moment, or have jacked the prices sky-high, so any suggestions would be welcome. We have been to Jerez several times, so know our way around quite well.

Many thanks in anticipation.

dear all,

My husband and I are planning a trip to Andalusia at the end of Jan 06. We will arrive at Faro and head east to Jerez straight away. We have some difficulties of finding a decent yet resonable priced hotel for one night. Do you know any decent hotel to suggest? Our budget for that night is around 60-70Euros and we don't mind somewhere outskirt in a smaller town as we will rent a car for the trip.

Your suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I know by now from reading on Andalucia, that it would be almost sacreligious to see it without visiting a Jerez Bodega. But I can't seem to find the right one to visit, nor prices of visits or even if we absolutely need a reservation (how long in advance?). I also read somewhere that most of them close for the month of August (which cut out a big chunk of our availability in the area). Can someone help me on which one to visit, rates, schedules and time lenght of visits, as we will be again in the vicinity of Jerez on Friday Sept.2nd, Saturday Sept.3rd and Sunday Sept.4th (start of Festival del Otono?)?
Thank you so much... Bodegas' websites are probably as mysterious as the making of their product!

Can anyone inform me on dates of the 2005 edition of the Festival del Otono de Jerez? Does it start on Saturday the 3rd or Sunday the 4th of September? What are some of the activities openning the Festival?

Does anyone know of a bike shop or outfit that rents road bikes in either Jerez de la Frontera or Rota? I'm going to be there for three weeks and would like to get some riding in. Any suggestions on routes would also be welcome!

Thanks!

Hi
I am thinking about going to Jerez this June for three nights and from what I can read you do not need a car and in fact it looks as if a car is more a liability. Any suggestions for travel from Benalmadena or Malaga. The train seems to take a long time due to having to change. What do you think is the best method? Thanks a lot

My group is arriving at Jerez airport on the 11th June. I would like to know if there is a viable route from Jerez or Seville into Portugal by train or bus.

RSVP if you can help.

I'm staying in Cadiz over the Motogp weekend (02/05/04). Can anyone help with getting to the circuit. I can hire a car. I suppose it's like all the other venues. Arrive early or queue. Are the parking areas far from the track? Is there any public transport that might get me nearer. My mate of 88 is not able to walk too far.

Thanks

Kevin
