Enchanting show with high-school horses dancing to the rhythm of classical music
Terrible experience; the girls in reservations were very unhelpful and unpleasant
Very beautiful show, which lets you imagine the enormous amount of training work beforehand. Everything is superb: the presence of the riders, the performance of the horses, and the beauty of the place
We hadn’t heard of the Escuela before we went but as we were in Jerez for several days it seemed like a must-do when we found out about it. We did enjoy it, but were disappointed at the lack of explanation of what the horses were doing in any language other than Spanish. As non-riders we would probably have got more out of the performances if we’d understood, and hence appreciated, the technicalities of what the horses and riders were doing better. We also thought it was a bit mean-spirited not to allow photographs. Banning flash would be understandable, but no photos at all just smacks of a marketing ploy to sell you merchandise.
Very moving show. I did not expect this welling up of tears from the very first moments. Pure beauty. A very mastered art without it appearing so.
The show was very elegant and elaborate. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The horses and horsemen where amazing!
Wonderful skill on display from horses and riders - 45 minutes, then break with a further 30 minutes. Get there in time to walk around the palace and gardens. There’s a fabulous gift shop, bar and cafe. A great afternoon out with these magnificent horses. But no photos allowed!
Excellent show, beautiful horses
This show is truly worth the detour. However, it is necessary to arrive a bit early because there is no parking available directly nearby.
