  • DAY 1

    Get into the mood with a day in Jerez: make your way to the Spanish Riding School by 11am for a tour of the stables before the 'Equestrian Ballet' at noon. Have a long lunch accompanied by some chilled fino. Later visit the Cathedral and the Moorish castle before joining the evening paseo (stroll)

    DAYS 2-3

    Drive to Sanlucar de Barrameda to catch the 10am boat for the trip upriver into the Coto Donana Nature Reserve. Afterwards continue down to the charming little port of Chipiona. Spend the afternoon touring some of the peublos blancos that are scattered across the hilltops and often-sheer crags: head east to Arcos de la Frontera then climb through the oak woods around El Bosque to Ubrique.

    DAYS 4-5

    Head south through Medina Sidonia to Vejer de la Frontera, with its old Moorish town gates. Spend the afternoon on the endless beach at Zahara de los Atunes, to the south. Drive down to Tarifa and take a whale-watching trip in the Straits of Gibraltar. Afterwards, try windsurfing or go for a horse ride in the dunes.

    DAY 6

    A day for total relaxation by the beach. In the evening, enjoy fresh cooked fish by the sea.

    DAY 7

    Head towards the airport for your flight home, via Cadiz for a last late lunch overlooking the port and the clear-blue sea.
