We are staying in the hotel the club have suggested but booked it independently. We are then going to spend the next week on the coast. Looking forward to meeting other Brighton fans at the hotel.

I'm staying there this weekend. I'll let you know what it's like.

Yes! Would be nice to know where the games are being played. None of us going are 22 so can't hire a car. There's a high chance of games being played in Seville/Cadiz too but can't be sure! Might give the club a ring tomorrow and see if they have more info.

For those of you coming to Jerez this summer, I'm in the Hotel Guadalete, staying for the weekend. The hotel is fine, nothing special, fairly standard but perfectly acceptable with a nice pool and gardens.
But it's a bit of a trek to the centre, about a 15 minute walk and you don-t want to be walking anywhere in Jerez in July, so it's a bit of an issue if you don't have a car. I haven't seen a bus go past the hotel but there may well be one, it's on a fairly major road, although set back and very quiet.
If you want a pool with a bar when you-re not watching Albion's new arrivals with only the odd trip into the centre it will be fine, but if you want to see the city properly you might want to stay somewhere more central.

4 of us booked our flights leaving from Gatwick to Seville, staying in Seville for one night. hopefully on the cheap near the train station and Airport (if possible). The following morning we will then catch the train down to Jerez to Hotel Sherry Park from 25th - 30th, Which looks a decent enough hotel and has a pool bar which is always a bonus!
We have then decided to fly back from Jerez to Stansted on the sunday evening. Really hoping for a Wednesday night and a Saturday game.
All in all so far has cost us £250 each for 4 nights in a 4 star hotel and flights (albeit with Ryanair)
Then just need to find a cheap place in Seville for the night.

It is expensive and if you don't like beaches it's probably not for you (not much else to do). Hostels are a good option but at 20 euros PP/PN for an 8 bed room it's still a pretty steep option.

Plenty of hotel deals in Seville in July - nobody goes to Seville that time of the year. Only mad dogs and Albion supporters.
Gibraltar isn't all that tho it's a lot better than it was in 2008! There are quite a lot of Frank Butchers about too! Seriously endorse those suggesting Cadiz, a great city similar in many ways to Brighton, except its hot (but usually with a cooling breeze, great beaches, bars etc. and a beautiful old town). You should be able to find a cheapish hotel/hostal but peak season is just round the corner in July and a lot of Madrileanos and Sevillanos decant to the coast to avoid the heat inland so availability may be limited and the prices higher than normal - but still well worth a look. Sevilla is an amazing city but is known, for good reason, as the "frying pan of spain" and in late July/August is absolutely scorchio. Trains run once an hour from Cadiz to Jerez and cost 22 euros return but the last one is, I think, at about 7.00 pm. For more info about trains, frequencies, cost and stations between Cadiz and Sevilla (including Jerez) look at the Renfe website.

I think it's going to be pretty unlikely to be able to get back from a game by train. I can't see kickoff being any earlier than 8pm, maybe even 9 or 10, that's certainly common here at that time of the year. You might get there by train but I doubt there'll be a train late enough to get you back. Train timetable is here http://www.renfe.com/EN/viajeros/index.html
And we don't yet know where the games are going to be, all we know is the team is staying in Jerez. When we know where the games are those of us that know the area can make suggestions but I doubt public transport is going to be much use for getting back after the game. But there should be plenty of taxis to share as long as you book in advance.

Was that all done separately or like a package website?
All separate. We booked the hotel through Booking.com and the flights separately on Ryanair. One single from Gatwick to Seville and another single on return from Jerez to Stansted.
Would love to know where the matches are going to be though!

Depends where you are on the Costa del Sol. Estepona to Jerez about an hour and a half or so
No more than a couple of hours. But why on earth would you want to be anywhere near the Costa del Sol?
