Guided visit · 1 h 30 · €11 · Under-12s free · Churches of San Miguel and San Bartolomé, castle, alcazaba and wall

Jerez de los Caballeros is much better understood with someone to tell its story. Tour Extremadura, a company of guides from Jerez itself, organises a guided visit of an hour and a half through the old town, the city of towers, leaving from Plaza de España.
What you see
The route goes through the churches of San Miguel Arcángel and San Bartolomé, with their Baroque towers, and climbs to the castle, the alcazaba and the wall, of Muslim origin and rebuilt by the Templars. Along the way you see stately palaces, chapels and corners of the old town, and from the wall, the views over the dehesas.
More than the monuments themselves, the visit rests on the stories of Jerez: the legend of the Bloody Tower, where tradition places the last Templar resistance; the city's connection with Vasco Núñez de Balboa, the discoverer of the Pacific, and with the Conquistadors' Route; and the story of the Templars and of the bollo turco, the almond sweet typical of Jerez. The website does not make clear whether there is a tasting, so do not take it for granted.
Price and what is included
It costs €11 per person; under-12s do not pay. Entry to monuments and churches is not included: if you want to go into one that charges, it is paid separately. It lasts around 1 h 30.
How to book
Tour Extremadura does not publish fixed days or departure times, or the language of the visit. You book using the form on its website, stating the number of people and the date, on 634 686 903 or at info@tourextremadura.es. Always book and wait for confirmation before you go. For groups it has its own section, with no rates published in the listing.
When and how
It is a good first activity as soon as you arrive: afterwards you can go back on your own to what you liked most. The streets are cobbled and sloping, so wear comfortable shoes; in summer avoid the middle of the day. With children it works well, because the Templars and the Bloody Tower grab them, and under-12s go free.
What to combine
After the visit, go calmly into what the route sees from outside: the Museum of Sacred Art, the Vasco Núñez de Balboa House Museum or the church of Santa María. If you prefer to go on your own, the circuit of the wall by its gates is free. The same company offers visits in Fregenal de la Sierra, Zafra, Olivenza and Mérida.
