—Option B: Stay for the podium, then wait 30-45 minutes for the initial crush to clear before heading to transport.
—Shuttle buses run until approximately 1 hour after the final event. Don't cut it too close.
—If driving from free parking lots (A, C, D), expect long shuttle waits back to your car. Premium parking pays for itself on Sunday.

Where to Stay

Jerez de la Frontera

15 min by shuttle

Best option. Walk to the shuttle, walk to restaurants. Books out fast — reserve early.

El Puerto de Santa María

20 min drive

Coastal town with great seafood. Good alternative when Jerez hotels sell out.

Cádiz

30 min drive

Beautiful historic city. More hotel availability and lower prices than Jerez.

Seville

1h 15m by train/car

Major city with endless options. Best if you want nightlife and sightseeing, but the commute adds up over 3 days.
