Do you like sherry? Then this is the place for you. There are many tours in English, but be sure to sign up in advance. I wanted to see the horse show at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, but we didn't know it was closed on Mondays, so we missed the opportunity. The city is small, so getting around is easy and effortless. There are no parks to speak of and the food is just okay, definitely geared towards tourists which was very disappointing. They were very aggressive in certain areas and almost pressured you to eat in their establishment. They wrote additional charges on our check which we had to dispute because who wants to be taken advantage of. I only got my money refunded after saying I'd post the bill on social media. Since I don't speak/read Spanish, the waiter (who spoke perfect English) said the 2 euro charge was for our silverware - wait, what? I don't think so. Of course, there's always an "extra" charge for bread that you didn't order. We found a great Italian restaurant (Pizzeria La Roma) away from the center, so there are a few good places, but you need to take your time and read the reviews.
Three days is all you need here if you plan ahead. However, if you want to go on multiple sherry tours you may want to add more days.
