Vejer de la Frontera is a Spanish hilltop town and municipality in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia, on the right bank of the river Barbate. The town of Vejer de la Frontera occupies a low hill overlooking the Straits of Gibraltar and surrounded by orchards and orange groves. It contains several ancient churches and convents, and the architecture of many of its houses recalls the period of Moorish rule, which lasted from 711 until the town was captured by Saint Ferdinand of Castile in 1248. Agriculture and fruit-farming are the chief industries; fighting bulls are also bred in the neighborhood and a running of the bulls is held annually.

My 7th visit now. A great way to spend some time away from the beach - just €5 to walk the trail under the cool trees and see a good range of outdoor sculptures. Allow at least two hours for both sections and the indoor bunker buildings (the dog video and haman are great). The James Turrell is the best I've seen anywhere in the world - a definite highlight.

Personally it’s the best beach in the area. The sunsets are breathtaking and you can see them after spending the whole day surfing while you enjoy a live flamenco concert

It’s our favorite white town. Very close to the seaside and still on the hills. Lovely small roads open to this square which is the heart of town. Loved it.

I’ve been coming to this bar for 20years and it haven’t really changed in all that time. The mood and atmosphere here are unrivalled in Vejer. Always playing great music, and a wide selection of drinks.The owners Edu and Torti are both brilliant guys and go out of their way to help. The location of this bar is something else, Nick Rudd, Liverpool.
