It is noted the arrival of autumn and the beginning of another cycle of wine production. It is time for harvesting these vineyards that from the time of the Phoenicians produce grapes for sherry (or sherry), nectar whose name is confused with the city. It's time to visit the wineries, or bodegas, impressive buildings, high ceilings, quiet and subdued lighting, designed perfectly for the maturation process of these wines.
In one of these cathedrals oenological open to the public, the insignia on the entrance wall, with the silhouette of a man cape and hat, is the image of Sandeman that in addition to port and Douro wines, also produces sherry. Among the rows of pipes is explained in the alchemical process that turns grape juice into a precious nectar. The tour includes a wine tasting, moderated by a costumed venenciador indeed.
Across the street is the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, one of several institutions guardians of this treasure that is the thoroughbred Andalusian. The presentations scheduled performances are authentic equestrian ballet on horseback and the museums of carts and equestrian also merit a visit.
To give more color to the city for finally flamenco. He is everywhere and throughout the year, in the trials and tablaos, with regular performances. But the celebration of the harvest also brings flamenco to the highest level, with the Fiesta de la Buleria, a festival that brings together some of the biggest names in Flamenco.
