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 state rooms and explore the gardens. There's a museum showcasing the history of horsemanship as well as another dedicated to carriages. You'll be able to poke around the stables and saddlery, too. It's all so intriguing.
And you'll also be able to observe as the horsemen train their mounts with delicate intricacy. The connection between rider and horse is total.
