Jerez Airport is located in the city limits of Jerez de la Frontera, in the province of Cadiz and lies around 6 km to the northeast of Jerez city centre. Jerez Airport is the main airport for the Costa de la Luz and is well linked to Algeciras and Gibraltar via the A-381 motorway which merges into the A-7 motorway along the Costa del Sol.
