About this tour
A 10-hour private journey from Marbella through two of Andalucía's most storied towns. Start in Jerez de la Frontera to walk through a working sherry bodega, learning how solera ageing transforms grapes into the region's signature fortified wine, then taste several vintages. Move on to Cádiz, Europe's oldest continuously inhabited city, where a local guide navigates you through its tight grid of historic plazas and narrow callejones before finishing at the working fish and produce market. Lunch is yours to arrange at one of the city's traditional spots.

What to expect
Your driver collects you early morning and handles the 90-minute drive to Jerez. You'll spend roughly two hours at a functioning winery, moving through barrel rooms and learning how the solera system works before tasting several sherries. The drive to Cádiz takes another hour. Once there, your guide walks you through the old quarter for two hours—expect narrow streets, baroque churches, defensive walls, and sudden opens onto quiet plazas. The market tour lets you see locals buying fish and veg, hear the calls of vendors. You'll have two to three hours free to find lunch before the return journey to Marbella (arriving late afternoon).
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for significant walking on uneven cobbles. The sherry tasting includes several glasses, so eat beforehand. Lunch and drinks aren't included—budget accordingly at Cádiz's restaurants, which range from casual tapas bars to sit-down spots. Prams and infant seats are available if needed.
