Explorer Jerez de la Frontera

The Domecq Palace is an 18th-century Baroque town palace in Jerez, begun in 1775 for the first Marquis of Montana to designs by Juan Díaz de la Guerra, Antonio Matías de Figueroa and Pedro de Cos. The sherry-making Domecq family bought it in 1855. Audio-guided group visits lead through its marble patio and furnished rooms.

The Palace of Viceroy Laserna is a noble house in the old centre of Jerez, held by the same family since the 13th century and given its Neoclassical form in the 18th. It is named after José de la Serna, the last Spanish Viceroy of Peru and first Count of the Andes, who lived here. Guided tours show its furnished salons, paintings and garden.
