Beautiful quarry architecture and happy tambora music
Its name comes from an Arabic word that means “place where grasslands abound” and it is located in a fertile agricultural valley and is framed by the natural beauty of the Sierra de Cardos. Jerez was founded in the 16th century, and in addition to preserving its colonial flavor intact.
The oldest festival in Zacatecas, dating from 1824, is held in Jerez: the Spring Fair, which begins on Glory Saturday and lasts for a week.
The other important celebration takes place in the month of September, in honor of the Virgen de la Soledad, patron saint of the town. Jerez is the cradle of the well-known “tamborazo”, and the ideal place to savor the famous wedding roast, made with pork loin that is fried and cooked in a sauce of red ancho chili peppers.
The climate in Jerez is temperate to cool throughout the year.
