Jerez's green artery - a walk through time

Jerez's Alameda Vieja walk shines a spotlight on this ancient city, inviting visitors to step back hundreds of years into the days of the Alcazar. A tour of gardens and groves, it slices through the heart of Jerez like a verdant green spine, linking its most famous sights in a leisurely stride. If you let it, the Alameda Vieja will carry you back to the age of Fiestas de la Vendimia or echoes of the Rastro de Jerez, when this proud Andalusian town was an empire in its own Right, famed for its sherry, its flamenco, and its fine-grained horses.

But the origins of the Alameda Vieja date back even earlier, to the days when new Christian kings arrived and castles rose over the ruins of the old. Today, the Alameda Vieja holds a secret of its own, a fascinating tale that ranges from iron architecture to the Roman goddess of agriculture, and offers a glimpse into the city's double life, where the past sits behind every tower and temple. To follow the Alameda Vieja is to walk with Jerez - a history that lingers behind every tower and temple.
