The Alcazar of Jerez is a wonderful place to stroll. We loved the gardens and the smaller size of the space makes it easy to dream about actually living in such a beautiful place. As to Jerez de la Frontera, we love the city. It is very easy to walk almost everywhere and in particular the vegetable and fish market... More

We were charged 3 Euro for entrance which seemed very reasonable. The Alcazar has been well maintained and restored. It is much larger than it seems from the exterior. The steam baths (original condition) are the best I have seen in Spain, in a much better state that the Alhambra baths. The olive press was wonderful and interesting to see.... More

The arab baths and mosque were particulary interesting as was the olive press. The whole site was relaxing to wander round, but we were disappointed that the camera obscura wasn't open and three sections of the complex were closed for restoration.

Now I know that some folks have compared the Jerez Alcazar unfavorably to... More

We came away with loads of ideas for the garden. I suspect it would be really busy in the summer, but in November, we had the whole place almost to ourselves. Definitely worth a visit.

Having fallen in love with the Alhambra, we wondered whether the Alcatraz in Jerez would be a disappointment - it's much smaller, but we had a fantastic trip there! On a quiet afternoon we had the place almost to ourselves and it was really beautiful. The baths are well preserved, fantastic view from the towers, colourful gardens - and only... More

Having absolutley loved the Alcazar at Seville and equally the one at Cordoba we specifically set out to visit the Alcazar at Jerez. On reaching it (From Cordoba by train) it was closed with a sign "Closed for Filming" on the door. No indication for how long ! The tourist info people had no Idea. The City official tourist website... More
