Vejer is a white, Moorish hilltop town perched high above the steep gorge of the river Barbate. It is a magical place to explore with its brilliant white cobbled alleyways, iron-grilled windows, balconies and patios and dozens of small tapas bars and restaurants. There is a magnificent castle and beautiful church. The town square, which is situated just a few minutes walk from the property, has a wonderful old fountain with traditional ceramic Andalucian frogs, which spout water high into the air. There is a daily fruit/veg/meat/fish market. The beaches along this coast are amongst the best in Europe - huge stretches of golden sand that are - weekends aside - virtually deserted. The coast is dotted with small towns with bars and fish restaurants, from where you can watch the wind-and kitesurfers. The stunning mountains of the Alcornocales Nat.Park are a short drive away and there is golf & horseriding nearby. Or take a day trip to Seville, Medina Sidonia, Gibraltar or even Morocco.
