About Vejer de la Frontera

Deemed by many to be the most beautiful of Andalucía's ‘white towns’, Vejer de la Frontera sits south of Cádiz and just a few kilometres inland of the Atlantic Ocean. Perched atop a hill, this fascinating medieval town of winding streets, independent boutiques and delectable eateries also promises arresting views over the Strait of Gibraltar towards the African coast. This town's popularity is reflected in its abundance of charming accommodation options; our list of the best places to stay in Vejer de la Frontera includes intimate guesthouses and heritage B&Bs with stacks of style.

Topped by the graceful Vejer de la Frontera Castle, the town is a dream for those who like exploring on foot, with quirky whitewashed houses lining little lanes studded with memorials, churches, shops and cafés. Plaza De España and Parroquia del Divino Salvador church are two cultural highlights. Vejer has also become known for its excellent food, so you can expect to eat well after big days of hiking between the surrounding orange groves and orchards or exploring the beaches of the Costa de la Luz. Playa El Palmar and Playa Zahora are particular highlights for surfing, whilst Caños de Meca is also gorgeous. Birdwatchers need look no further than the Marismas de Barbate or the stone pine forest of La Breña.

This is a deservedly popular summer destination, so book well in advance to guarantee a room at one of the best places to stay in Vejer de la Frontera!
