As the home of thoroughbred Andalusian horses, the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art is one of the most hallowed institutions in Spain. Located in a palatial complex on the edge of Jerez old town, its exhibitions of horsemanship are a must-see when in the Costa de la Luz.
Everything about the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art says ‘wow' – from the elegant Charles Garnier-designed main palace to the arena where the dressage exhibitions are performed. See the staterooms and explore the gardens, then visit the two museums – one showcasing the history of horsemanship as well as another dedicated to carriages.
Or, you can take the complete tour to see an audio-visual presentation and the stables and saddlery, too. You'll also be able to observe as the horsemen train their mounts with delicate intricacy – the connection between rider and horse is total.
