Their "ensaladilla" is the best of Spain
by H0BB1T about Las Bridas
This is a small restaurant located by Parque González Hontoria. Family restaurant, their food is superb, and even though the owner is kind of grumpy, the restaurant is always full. You need reservations if you want to eat there. Ensaladilla (russian salad) is absolutly gorgeus, you must try it.
Their menu will depend on the morning's shopping in the market. They know how to fry the fish, I recommend you to ask for a "fritura variada".
Their desserts are delicious, all grandma recipes. I love their chestnut's mousse.
Bring On The Dancing Horses
by NomadicWorld
If you like horses, well a bit more than if yours wins the 3.30 at Aintree then this is the place for you. Here the andalucian dancing horses perform (I think twice a day) in the main arena.
Some of the skill on display is amazing to watch especially when the horses do their dancing, think john travolta with four legs.
Get there early as there is high demand and you will find yourself in a big queue, just as we did. To be fair they waited until everyone was in before they started the show so fair play to them.
if I remember rightly you aren't supposed to take photo's until a certain point in the show but all around people were taking a few sneeky shots. I think its more to do with the flash aspect of things and those who used theres were told off by the glum faced girls watching the crowd.
All in all a nice experience and there are some beautiful grounds to walk round after the show.
Bodega Gonzales Byass - Tio Pepe
by angidesign
Jerez is full of Bodegas, and you should at least visit one or two. Most of them offer visited guided tours in different langueages with sherry tasting, and this is a good way to learn more about the makeing and history of sherry. All of them can have a shop where you can buy merchandising things and sherry bottles, if you like. We visited 2 Bodegas, which we were told would be the nicest ones. The Bodega Gonzales Byass is famous for its Tio Pepe Sherry and you have a very nice and informative tour - partly with a little train - through the cellars of the bodega and the company ground. Very enjoyable.

I haven't got time to tell you about the famous equestrian shows or Flamenco right now, so meanwhile if you are planning to go to Jerez these are two important visits if you like horses and different music forms, so please keep them in mind.
Jerez is the hotbed of Flamenco and you can see some of the most authentic shows here and it is also highly famous for the Cartusian white horses.
