You say Flamenco and immediately you think of Andalusia. Right here, this true form of art finds its maximum expression.

If you want to attend the most important Flamenco festival in the world, you should make a stop in Jerez de la Frontera, a beautiful city in the heart of Andalusia, about 100km from beautiful Seville.
Each year, the city hosts the Jerez Festival, an event that attracts numerous spectators, and media, from all over the country. This year it reaches its 26th edition.
