PRIVATE TOUR · CÁDIZ AND JEREZ FROM SEVILLE
What to see in Cádiz and Jerez?
Embark on one of the most complete private excursions you can take from Seville: a full day exploring Cádiz, considered the oldest city in Western Europe, and Jerez de la Frontera, the world capital of Sherry wine and the birthplace of flamenco and Spanish horsemanship. Our expert local guides will immerse you in the historical, architectural and culinary richness of these two Andalusian gems that every traveller should visit at least once.
In Cádiz you will discover the Phoenician and Roman Old Town, the majestic Baroque Cathedral with its incomparable views over the Atlantic, and the picturesque Playa de la Caleta beach flanked by Santa Catalina Castle. In Jerez, the afternoon holds an authentic visit to a local winery, with a Sherry wine tasting included, followed by a stroll through the charming historic centre and its traditional tapas taverns.
As it is a private and fully customisable tour, you won’t follow a rigid itinerary: you set the pace and we adapt every stop to your preferences. A lunch of fresh seafood, free time on the beach or an extra stop in the La Viña quarter for a glass of manzanilla… anything is possible. Travelling from Granada, Málaga or another city in Andalusia? We can also arrange a tailor-made excursion to Cádiz and Jerez from your starting point.
Must-see places
What you'll see on your visit to Cádiz and Jerez
The Old Town of Cádiz
Founded by the Phoenicians more than 3,000 years ago, Cádiz holds the title of the oldest city in Western Europe. Its Old Town is a maze of narrow streets, charming squares and buildings that have witnessed Phoenician, Roman, Arab and Spanish civilisations. To walk through the Pópulo quarter or the Plaza de las Flores is to step into centuries of living history.
Cádiz Cathedral
The New Cathedral of Cádiz, with its distinctive golden tiled dome, is one of the most photographed icons in Andalusia. Built between 1722 and 1838 in a late Baroque and Neoclassical style, it offers spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean from its tower. Its crypt holds the remains of the composer Manuel de Falla, one of the city’s most illustrious sons.
Playa de la Caleta
Nestled in the heart of the city, La Caleta is the most iconic and beloved urban beach in Cádiz. Guarded by Santa Catalina Castle on one side and San Sebastián Castle on the other, this small cove of golden sand and calm waters is the perfect place to take a breather and feel the true Atlantic breeze before setting off for Jerez.
The Wineries of Jerez
Jerez de la Frontera is the birthplace of Sherry wine (Jerez), a wine unique in the world and protected by its own Denomination of Origin. A visit to a local winery is an essential sensory experience: the enormous American oak casks, the peculiar solera ageing system and the guided tasting of fino, amontillado or oloroso are moments you won’t easily forget. Your guide will share the secrets of this wine with centuries of history.
The Historic Centre of Jerez
Beyond the wine, Jerez holds an extraordinary historical heritage. The 11th-century Arab Alcázar, the Collegiate Church of El Salvador, the Santiago quarter (birthplace of Jerez Roma flamenco) and the lively La Viña quarter with its taverns and taprooms form a vibrant urban fabric. Ending the day with some tapas and a glass of manzanilla out in the street is the best way to say goodbye to this unique city.
Equestrian Show · Jerez
The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art is one of the most prestigious riding centres in the world. Its show “How the Andalusian Horses Dance” is an internationally renowned equestrian ballet in which PRE (Pura Raza Española) horses perform haute école movements to the rhythm of classical music. An optional experience that adds a unique, unforgettable touch to your excursion from Seville.

A suggested itinerary
The tour begins with a pick-up at your hotel or accommodation in Seville at whatever time suits you best. During the journey to Cádiz (about 1h 45min), you will enjoy the scenery of the Andalusian countryside while your guide introduces you to the history and culture of the cities you are about to visit. It is the perfect start to an unforgettable day in Andalusia.
We reach the heart of Cádiz and begin our exploration of the Old Town on foot. Your expert guide will take you through the most picturesque streets, stopping at the key spots that condense 3,000 years of history: from the Phoenician walls to the 18th-century Neoclassical palaces. You will discover the Plaza de las Flores, the Pópulo quarter and the iconic Torre Tavira, the highest viewpoint in the city.
We admire the façade and interior of the New Cathedral of Cádiz, with its spectacular golden dome visible from the sea. Then we walk to Playa de la Caleta, guarded by two historic castles, to enjoy the Atlantic breeze and the most authentic Cádiz atmosphere. It is the locals’ favourite spot and one of the most photogenic corners in all of Andalusia.
Midday is yours to have lunch at your own pace. Your guide will recommend the best local restaurants to try Cádiz cuisine: pescaíto frito (fried fish), tortillitas de camarones (shrimp fritters), ortiguillas (fried sea anemones) or the classic almadraba tuna. Cádiz cooking is among the most highly regarded in all of Spain, and this free lunch will give you the chance to discover it first-hand, without rushing.
We set off for Jerez de la Frontera (20 minutes from Cádiz) to enjoy an unforgettable experience: a visit to a local Sherry winery. We will walk through the halls filled with American oak casks, learn about the solera ageing system and enjoy a guided tasting of different styles of Sherry: from the driest fino to the most complex oloroso. An essential visit for any lover of wine and culture.
We explore the historic centre of Jerez on foot: the Collegiate Church of San Salvador, the imposing 11th-century Arab Alcázar and the streets of the Santiago quarter, the heart of Jerez flamenco. The walk ends with some authentic tapas in the La Viña quarter or at a trusted local tavern recommended by your guide. You will taste local life with a glass of manzanilla in hand before starting the journey back.
We return calmly to Seville in the afternoon, with time to reflect on all the experiences of the day. The journey back is relaxed, perfect for sharing impressions with your guide and answering any questions about other places in Andalusia you might want to visit. We drop you off at your accommodation with the best memories of Cádiz and Jerez.
