Introducing Jerez
The delightful country town of Jerez, 30km southwest of Zacatecas, is as Mexican as a tortilla. It is a great place to watch the local action, especially on Sunday – market day – when saddle-bound rancheros drink outside the saloons. It has some fine 18th- and 19th-century buildings. Jerez holds a lively 10-day Easter fair, featuring, among other activities, charreadas and cockfights.
