Horse Fair in Jerez de la Frontera 2025
Art, Color, and Tradition to Fall in Love With
From May 17th to 24th, Jerez transforms itself to give us one of the most beautiful weeks of the year: the Horse Fair (Feria del Caballo). For us, who live in this city with such passion, it is a very special moment, and we love sharing it with those who are coming to discover it for the very first time.
At La Gitanilla Alojamiento & Encanto, we want to invite you to experience this fair like a true jerezano: with joy, art, and that "duende" (magic soul) that ensures Jerez stays engraved in your heart.
The "Alumbrado" and its Magic
It all begins on the night of Saturday, May 17th, when thousands of light bulbs switch on simultaneously, illuminating the fairgrounds in González Hontoria Park. It is a moving moment—one of those you never forget. Seeing the main gate (portada) lit up for the first time, surrounded by excited crowds, is something everyone should experience at least once in their life.
We recommend keeping your phone handy (or your camera, if you're a classic), because that first night is pure magic. It’s an image you’ll definitely want to save.
A Fair with Soul: Tradition, Art, and Roots
The Horse Fair is not just a party: it is identity, history, and roots. Here, we pay tribute to the Andalusian horse, to our equestrian art, and to the culture that makes us unique. Throughout the week, the grounds are filled with elegance and tradition: purebred horses, vintage carriages, traditional costumes... It’s like a journey into the past, but bursting with life.
If you love horses, you cannot miss the exhibitions by the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art. They are truly breathtaking.

Gastronomy, Wine, and Plenty of "Arte"
Of course, if there is one thing that is never missing at the fair, it is good food and an even better atmosphere. In the casetas (tents), traditional dishes are served, such as berza jerezana (a local hearty stew), ajo caliente, or the classic pescaíto frito (fried fish), always accompanied by a good Fino, Amontillado, or the essential rebujito (Sherry and lime soda).
Music plays everywhere: flamenco, sevillanas, rumbitas... And in any corner, a song, a dance, or even a small improvised concert can break out. The joy here is contagious.

If you decide to come, we welcome you with open arms at La Gitanilla Alojamiento & Encanto. We are located in the center of Jerez, just a short step away from the fair, so you have everything close by and can enjoy the experience without any complications.
