Vejer de la Frontera
A white Andalusian hilltop town with city walls, Moorish lanes and lookouts, often called one of Spain's most beautiful villages.
The town sits on a hill about 200 meters high. Its whitewashed lanes, arches and Moorish city walls are well preserved. Highlights include the Church of El Salvador, the castle, the town gates, and the tiled fountain in Plaza de España, and several lookouts overlook the plain and the Atlantic. The town has many boutique restaurants. It is about 50 km from Tarifa, a 45-minute drive. The streets are narrow, so it is best to park in the car park below the hill and walk up. Half a day is enough.
