Tourist text on jerez de la Frontera
Aún a riesgo de caer en tantos tópicos como la han hecho famosa, hemos de decir que Jerez, además de su vino, también es el caballo, es el flamenco, el toro, el deporte, los grandes eventos, el circuito de velocidad, y son tantos otros elementos cualitativos como aquí se manifiestan con la rotundidad de lo concluyente y que se muestran capaces de definir su singular personalidad.

This is the correct one. "Tópico" as used in literature/iconography is an image that becomes a symbol, for ex. the wounded doe symbolizing the wounded self.

Still taking the risk of getting way off-topic
As I understand your passage, there are a lot of things one could say about Jerez, but the guidebook is only so big.
