To make your stay in the city of Jerez easier, here’s a practical guide to navigating Jerez using public transport.

Local Buses: The Urban Lifeline

Jerez’s urban bus network is run by Comujesa and consists of around 17 lines, covering the main districts and suburbs. Buses are frequent and reliable, especially during weekdays, with services typically running from around 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

• Tickets can be purchased directly from the driver (single fare approximately €1.10).
• Bonobús cards offer discounted fares and can be recharged at kiosks and tobacco shops.
• All buses are marked with route numbers and destinations, and maps are posted at major stops.

Tip: For real-time schedules, the Urbanos de Jerez mobile app is a handy companion.

Regional Buses: Reaching the Surroundings

If you’re planning a trip to nearby towns such as Sanlúcar de Barrameda, El Puerto de Santa María, or Cádiz, the Interurbanos network serves as a reliable option. The regional bus station is located just next to the main train station on Plaza de la Estación.

Services are operated by companies like TG Comes, and tickets can be bought at the station or online in advance. These buses are comfortable, air-conditioned, and punctual.

Trains: Quick and Efficient

Jerez’s Renfe train station is a central hub for travel across Andalusia. Trains are a great way to visit Cádiz (about 45 minutes away), Seville (just over an hour), or even Madrid (around 4 hours via AVE high-speed train).

There are two main types of trains:

• Cercanías (commuter trains) – Ideal for short regional trips.
• Media Distancia and AVE (mid- and long-distance) – For faster connections to other cities.

It’s advisable to book longer journeys in advance, especially during holidays or local festivals like the Feria del Caballo.

Taxis and Ride-Hailing

Taxis are readily available throughout the city and can be flagged down or found at designated ranks. They operate on a metered fare system, and rates are regulated.

While Uber isn’t widely available in Jerez, local ride-hailing apps like Cabify or calling a radio taxi service is an option.

Bicycles and Walking

For short distances, walking is often the best way to enjoy the charm of Jerez’s historic centre. The city also offers bicycle lanes and bike hire services, including public bike stations. Just be aware that some cobbled streets and hills may present a bit of a challenge.

Getting to and from the Airport

Jerez Airport (XRY) is located just 8 km northeast of the city. To reach the city centre:

• Take the Cercanías train (C-1), which runs regularly between the airport and the main station.
• Alternatively, a taxi ride takes about 15 minutes and costs around €20.
