Jerez Council has
published its calendar of events for 2016 which are as follows. The Council has tried to provide
events all year round to avoid the “seasonality” of tourism. You will notice
quite a lot of motorcycle events as the circuit brings in a lot of visitors. Vinoble,
which takes place biennially, is back and the Fiesta de la Bulería (a Flamenco
style native to Jerez) has been extended to 3 days. Lola Flores was a famous
actress and singer of whom there is a lovely statue in the Barrio San Miguel
where she was born. Noches de Bohemia consist of musical evenings featuring
various musical styles. Zambombas are large clay pots with drumskins on each
end and played with a stick through one end providing an amazing sound and
accompanied by Christmas songs (see post). The photograph in the poster is of
the Palacio de los Ponce de León, an old and distinguished Jerez family. You can’t
not visit Jerez in 2016; there’s always something interesting happening.
