The region is also famous for its Sherry wine production, particularly in the towns of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María, and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The province's cultural heritage is celebrated through its annual carnivals, especially the one in the city of Cádiz, which is among the most famous in Spain.
