Vejer is a white, Moorish hilltop town on the beautiful Atlantic coast of Andalucia, perched high above the steep gorge of the river Barbate. It is a magical place to explore with dozens of small tapas bars and restaurants, narrow streets with pretty patios, a magnificent castle and beautiful church. There are several small shops and a daily market. The beaches along this coast are amongst the best in Europe - huge stretches of golden sand, many of which are virtually deserted - from where you can swim, surf, fish, fly kites or just enjoy the sunset. The stunning mountains of the Alcornocales National Park are a short drive away and there is golf & horse riding nearby. You can learn Spanish or Flamenco in Vejer too, but the pace of life here is what you make it! Jerez, Cadiz, Trafalgar, Medina Sidonia, the ancient Roman ruins at Baelo Claudio, whale watching or wind surfing at Tarifa are all within easy reach or take a day trip to Seville, Ronda, Gibraltar or even Morocco!
