Getting There

From Jerez you can catch the roughly hourly commuter train which takes around 50 minutes. These are supplimented by faster longer distance trains (more expensive and require a seat reservation) which take around 45 minutes. Alternatively there are regular coaches between the two cities. Finally, a more interesting way to arrive is to catch the coach or train to the next town along - El Puerto de Santa Maria and catch the ferry across the bay (10 minute train ride, 15 minute walk, 25 minute ferry crossing)
