Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre

Jerez de la Frontera


Jerez' renowned Royal Andalucian School of Equestrian Art trains horses and riders. On 'thematic visits', you can watch them going through their paces in training sessions and visit the Museo del Arte Ecuestre and nearby Museo del Enganche. The big highlight is the official exhibición (show), in which the beautiful horses show off their tricks to classical music. Book tickets online; schedules can vary.

'Reduced visits' (adult/child €6.50/4.50) take in the two museums without training sessions.
