Address: C. Puerto, 101, 11403 Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz
Tucked beside the imposing walls of the Alcázar, Alameda Vieja is Jerez’s oldest public park and one of its most atmospheric. Originally part of the city’s medieval fortifications, the park has evolved into a graceful promenade lined with palm trees, ornamental fountains, and tiled benches. Its name—”Old Boulevard”—hints at its deep roots in the city’s urban history. Locals come here to read, walk, or simply unwind under the filtered shade of jacaranda trees.
Alameda Vieja is ideal if you’re looking for a calm moment between museum visits or tapas stops. With open lawns for kids to play and plenty of benches for a quiet siesta, it’s both family-friendly and perfect for couples escaping the buzz of the city centre. During spring, the purple blossoms add a surreal touch of colour, and on weekends, you might catch a local market or cultural event. It’s central, beautiful, and surprisingly under the radar—a hidden gem right in the heart of Jerez.
