It can be tricky at times, but it's also a refreshing change from the typical holiday resorts many tourists associate Spain with. And the country is blessed with incredible natural beauty. It's well worth every effort to get out here!
After visiting Jerez multiple times,I agree with everything you're saying. The scenery is stunning, the locals are friendly, the climate is amazing, the city centre is very vibrant, there's an awful lot to like about it. Definitely happy with my choice of FTOs. Wish I could go back now and spent more time with the guys at FTE, they are such a great bunch of people!
