¡Bienvenido a la Costa de la Luz: Andalucia, Spain!
Vejer de la frontera is a Spanish hilltop town right in the South of Spain
Vejer de la frontera
Located in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia, Vejer is a classic Andalusian Pueblo Blanco (“white village”), with the architecture of many of its houses from the period of Moorish rule, which lasted from 711 until the town was captured by Saint Ferdinand of Castile in 1248.
Vejer has a population of about 12,000, and contains an old town (complete with an incredible maze of narrow, winding cobbled streets), as well as a more modern side. [Watch a short video on Vejer]
Vejer is a stone’s throw from some of the most beautiful beaches in Spain
Bolonia Beach
This stretch of coastline is called the Costa de la Luz (“Coast of light”) for a reason – for the incredible sunshine that bathes the coast in light year round. Staying in Vejer you’re utterly spoilt for choice as to which beach to head for. Forget the beer-swilling hoards on the Costa del Sol, the beaches near Vejer are spacious, natural and almost entirely undeveloped.
If you’re into all things Spanish; Tapas, Flamenco, Sherry Bodegas & long siestas, come to Vejer. If it’s Sky Sports, bangers & mash, and pints of lager you’re after, the Costa del Sol will be more your thing.
