'The Elf Route' through Jerez
'Ruta del duende' announced in Jerez March 9, 2024
Among its many activities, Espacio Expoflamenco has organised a new cultural route to get to know the city where it is based. It is a guided walk between the flamenco districts of Santiago and San Miguel through the heart of old Xerez. Places are limited, so don't miss out on yours.
The name of the route responds to the need to bring together all the elements that make up the route itself. Because flamenco will be very present but also, as we pass by, we will find the unique monument, the legend or the winery. There will be no shortage of local wines along the way and on the way back, in harmony with the surroundings. The spirit of Jerez and sherry, in short.

Detailed description of the Elf Route:
This unique experience, led by its creator, was perfectly defined by the colleagues at La Voz del Sur in an extensive report, which you can access at this link: Where the streets smell of wine and sound flamenco (lavozdelsur.es)
An article that points out the nature of this activity in this way:
The route is a journey through the streets, monuments, stories and legends of flamenco in our city, where participants can learn about this intangible heritage of the city in a more up-close way. Everything starts in the Santiago neighbourhood, participants watch the evening fall while they discover the history of the cobbled streets, the most traditional houses, or some of the emblematic places of Jerez such as the church of Santiago, the old market square, or the nooks and crannies of the San Miguel neighbourhood. Added to all this are the wines of the Marco, which become protagonists during the route, participants can taste a glass of wine in some traditional place in the city, while learning about the history of the city and its most genuine artistic manifestation, flamenco, thanks to the studious and meticulous work of Castaño.
