You hear Jerez before you see it: bulerías in the streets, singing at flamenco clubs, guitars in tabancos and Christmas zambombas.

The bulería of Santiago and San Miguel

Santiago and San Miguel are the heartlands of Jerez flamenco singing. Wander through at dusk to find peñas, patios and bars where bulerías, the style so closely associated with Jerez, come to life. You'll hear soleá, seguiriya and tangos too.
