Spring in the province of Cadiz is an explosion of colours, aromas and emotions. From the most deeply-rooted traditions to the most innovative plans, this season is perfect to enjoy all that our land has to offer. And with our hotels and flats in Rota and Jerez as a base, we guarantee you an unforgettable experience. Take note of these essential plans!
Two classics that never fail: Easter Week and the Feria
Spring in the province of Cadiz cannot be understood without its Easter Week, which is celebrated in every town and declared to be of National Tourist Interest in cities such as Jerez. From 13 to 20 April, the streets of Jerez will be filled with music, incense and devotion. Don’t miss the most emblematic processions, such as the Cristo de la Expiración or the Virgen de la Amargura, which combine art, history and popular fervour.
And if April is synonymous with Easter, May is synonymous with the Feria. Here too, fairs are held in almost every town in the province, but their greatest splendour comes with the one in Jerez. From 17 to 24 May, you can’t miss its famous Horse Fair, an event that combines elegance, tradition and fun. Enjoy horse riding, flamenco dresses, Jerez wine and the festive atmosphere that fills the González Hontoria Park, an experience that will transport you to the most authentic part of Andalusia!
Rota: Sea, nature and gastronomy
In spring you start to feel like spending time by the sea, don’t you? And for that, Rota is the ideal destination. If you want to disconnect from your routine and enjoy nature, there is nothing better than the Hotel Playa de la Luz, listen to the waves from its promenade, explore the corrals of Rota, old fishing facilities that are now a Natural Monument, or stroll along the walkways surrounded by a forest at the foot of the beach. Not forgetting its magical sunsets, ideal for relaxing after a day of activities.
If you want to enjoy Rota with more independence, Punta Candor Suites is for you. Our tourist apartment complex next to one of the last unspoilt beaches of Rota will make you enjoy every moment of the Cadiz spring.
Not forgetting that, in spring, the town of Rota comes alive with gastronomic and cultural events. Don’t miss the Spring Fair, from 1 to 4 May, and don’t forget to try urta a la roteña, a typical dish that combines this native fish with the unique touch of the local cuisine. To enjoy the cultural life of Rota, there is nothing better than a stay at the Hotel Duque de Nájera, located right on the beach next to the old quarter of the town.
Jerez: Engine and horses
In Jerez, spring is also synonymous with speed. From 25 to 27 April, the Circuito de Jerez hosts the Motorcycle World Championship, an event that fills the city with adrenaline and a festive atmosphere. If you are a motor racing fan, this is your date!
And make the most of your stay to find out more about the city of the horse. Like the show ‘How the Andalusian horses dance’ by the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, a display of elegance and tradition that will leave you speechless. Or visit the Yeguada de La Cartuja stud farm, where you can get up close and personal with purebred Spanish horses. Take advantage of the agreement between the Stud Farm and the Monastery of La Cartuja to discover this spiritual environment dating back to the 15th century, where the breeding of the purebred Spanish horse, also known as the Carthusian horse, was born.
To complete your stay, don’t forget to take advantage of the many services available at the Hotel Jerez & Spa or the Hotel Villa Jerez.
Nature tourism: Discover the surrounding area
Spring is the ideal time to enjoy nature in the province of Cadiz. From Rota or Jerez, you can explore the Bay of Cadiz Nature Reserve, with its trails and unspoilt beaches, or the Toruños Nature Reserve. We also recommend a trip to the White Villages of the Sierra de Cádiz, where the landscape is filled with flowers and springtime aromas in contrast with the whitewashed houses in small villages full of tradition and history.
And if you like to enjoy the scenery by bike, our BikeFriendly routes will allow you to explore the coast and its surroundings on two wheels.
