Jerez de la Frontera, Spain
Jerez is where sherry gets its English name — a corruption of the Arabic Sherish. The city's cathedral quarter and old town preserve Moorish and baroque architecture, while the surrounding bodegas of famous sherry houses age their wines in vast solera systems. Jerez is also considered a cradle of flamenco, and the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art continues the region's centuries-old horse-riding tradition.
