Our take
This is Spain's benchmark equestrian show and the main reason many people visit Jerez. Book ahead, because your ticket category decides how well you see the arena. If you have the morning free, the option with museums is better value.

The experience
What you will see
- Doma vaquera: the rider steers with one hand, at a trot and a gallop, with spins and sudden bursts.
- Classical dressage to music: pas de deux, passage and piaffe, airs above the ground.
- Carriage driving with period carriages and skilled coachmen.
- Work in hand: haute école exercises with no rider in the saddle.
- A closing carrousel with several horses in unison.
How it works
You arrive at the Royal School, swap your printed voucher at the ticket office and sit in your category's area. The show lasts an hour and a half and combines six to eight routines from the school's repertoire, which can change from day to day.
Who I recommend it for
- First-time visitors to Jerez.
- Families and horse lovers.
- Anyone after a very Andalusian cultural plan that is easy to fit in.
Who I don't recommend it for
- Keen photographers: no flash and strict rules.
- Anyone wanting a guided tour of the grounds: this ticket is the show only.
