There is no allocated parking, we found a park on the street, although note that the bodega is not far from the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, which is very popular so around the times of shows or practice sessions parking maybe difficult

Visitors centre situated within the winery. There is a nice fenced in garden at the front of the building with seats, antique lamps and beautiful flowering shrubs which make it a nice place to wait for your tour to start

Commercial

The tasting room is at the back of the large wine aging room. It is fitted out with chunky wooden tasting tables and benches with little diaromas of different sherry making scenes throughout the history of the winery. There are also a number of informative display boards to explain the sherry making process in simple and easy to understand diagrams
