About Vejer de la Frontera

Perched high above the Atlantic, Vejer de la Frontera is one of Andalucía’s most enchanting white towns, blending medieval charm with sweeping views across the Strait of Gibraltar. If you’re hunting for hotels, you’re in the right place. Think boutique stays tucked into cobbled streets, stylish heritage B&Bs with rooftop terraces, or family-friendly hideaways close to the beaches of El Palmar. Budget travellers will love the cosy guesthouses in the old town, while design-led gems bring a splash of modern flair.

Vejer de la Frontera is a delight to wander on foot, with narrow lanes of whitewashed houses, pretty squares, and hidden cafes that make every corner feel like a discovery. The Plaza de España and the Parroquia del Divino Salvador stand out among the cultural highlights, while the town’s growing reputation for excellent food means you’ll eat just as well as you explore. Beyond the walls, the landscape is as tempting as the town itself—orange groves and orchards for hikers, sweeping beaches for sunseekers, and surf breaks at El Palmar and Zahora. Birdwatchers head to the Marismas de Barbate or the shady pines of La Breña, while Caños de Meca adds its own coastal charm.
