The English newspaper makes a series of recommendations of Jerez, including tabancos, a museum, a flamenco teacher and… churros.
On 14 August, The Times published a report on Jerez de la Frontera with the experience that journalist Emilia Harris had in the Andalusian city.
He assures that it is just the right size for a stroll, highlights its great architectural charm and advises not to leave without tasting some local wine, which “are no longer the preserve of grandmothers”, he explains.
He has not forgotten, of course, another star product, flamenco. Compared to other cities with dirtier cool neighbourhoods, as she herself says, she finds the nerve centre of Jerez’s leisure scene exciting and “elegant”.
He recommends not leaving Jerez de la Frontera without attending a flamenco show in the “best tablao”, El Pasaje or, if it is imbued, in La Bailaora.

Your corners of Jerez de la Frontera
In that imbued area close to the Plaza Vieja, also mentions the tabanco Abacería Cruz Vieja for a good sherry and Las Banderillas for shrimp omelettes and oxtail. For good seafood from Sanlúcar, he recommends A Mar; for toast for breakfast, Bar Mi Rincón.
If you want to take flamenco lessons, the flamenco dancer Patri Manes is your choice. At this point, he also points out that a genuinely Madrilenian product such as churros is also traditional. It may seem a little surprising, but Churrería Manuel will dispel those doubts.
