Jerez de la Frontera Warnings Or Dangers Tips by alucas Top 5 Page for this destination

This town closes for the Feria !

During the Feria del Caballo the town closes down in the afternoons. I fancied a beer in the early evening on the last Friday. Could I find a bar open ? No chance - even the bar we went to the night before was closed. And why should they stay open - everyone's gone to the Feria - where there are 250 bars !

Hotel Prices during the Feria

If you wish to visit the Feria del Caballo in May, or one of the other main events in Jerez, plan your trip early. Hotel prices are inflated at these times, and despite this, many hotels are fully booked. For example, the week before the Feria, we stayed at the Tryp Jerez and the cost was 60 euros per night for a double room (room only). During the Feria, the price rose to 220 euros for the same room - and it was the same story at the other major hotels. We booked in early February, and ended up in a small 2* hotel at 90 euros per night. It was OK, but I would have much preferred a better hotel !
