Best Time to Visit

Although it's quite popular to visit Jerez in July and August, these months can be very hot. You'll find the best weather during spring (April to June) or in early autumn (September). Jerez holds some popular festivals: Flamenco Festival in February, Jerez Horse Fair in May, and Jerez Sherry Festival in September. If you plan on visiting during these periods, remember to book in advance.

Passport / Visa

Spain can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travellers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

Jerez Airport (XRY)

Stacked sherry barrels greet arrivals at Jerez Airport (XRY), which is located 8km northeast of the city. Buses, trains, and taxis are available for transfers to and from Jerez outside the terminal building. The cheapest solution would be opting for means of public transportation. The bus line M-050 connects the city to the airport and tickets can be bought on the bus. The train journey to Jerez de La Frontera (train line C-1) takes approximately 9 minutes. You'll find a taxi rank outside the terminal building and the journey takes about 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can choose to rent a car with car rental companies located at the airport.
