Vejer de la Frontera is renowned for its stunning Moorish architecture, characterized by narrow streets, whitewashed houses, and intricate tile work. The town’s crowning jewel is the Castillo de Vejer, a 10th-century fortress offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The ancient city walls and several of the original gateways still stand, allowing visitors to step back in time as they explore the town’s historic core.
Another must-see is the Plaza de España, a charming square with a beautiful fountain surrounded by orange trees. The square is the perfect spot to soak up the town’s atmosphere and enjoy the Andalusian sun. Nearby, the 16th-century Iglesia Divino Salvador, built on the site of a former mosque, showcases a mix of Gothic and Mudejar architectural styles.
Vejer is also known for its artistic and cultural flair, with a growing number of art galleries, boutique shops, and workshops. The town’s location near the Parque Natural de la Breña y Marismas del Barbate offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and birdwatching.
