Andalusia is the southern most region of Spain. It contains the historic cities of Sevilla, Granada, and Cádiz and many examples of Moorish architecture.
The whitewashed villages of Andalucia are impressive historical monuments in themselves, and their people still live according to age-old traditions, inherited from their Iberian, Roman and Moorish forefathers.
Many of the villages near the coast have become fashionable resorts, while still conserving their ancient charm, whereas others, lost in the highlands of Andalusia, remain rough and ready olive-farming towns, with a special appeal for the adventurous travelers.

Andalusia is the southern most region of Spain. It contains the historic cities of Sevilla, Granada, and Cádiz and many examples of Moorish architecture.
The whitewashed villages of Andalucia are impressive historical monuments in themselves, and their people still live according to age-old traditions, inherited from their Iberian, Roman and Moorish forefathers.
Many of the villages near the coast have become fashionable resorts, while still conserving their ancient charm, whereas others, lost in the highlands of Andalusia, remain rough and ready olive-farming towns, with a special appeal for the adventurous travelers.
Most Andalusian towns began as fortresses, which stood along the ever-fluctuating frontier between the Christian and Moorish realms, as is apparent in the names of such towns as 'Jerez de la Frontera', 'Arcos de la Frontera', 'Morón de la Frontera'... Over the centuries, many have developed into thriving agricultural centers producing olive oil, fruit and vegetables and goat's milk.

Walking is the best way to discover Vejer de la Frontera. Wandering through the narrow alleys and going up and down stairs, only to find another lovely 'vista' of this centuries old town with blinding white houses and colorful flowers. Peep into open doors to enjoy the inner court yards, usually tiled and always with many pots of plants. You will find the people helpful and pleasant, always ready for some small talk or explaining what to see and where to go.
For exploring the area one needs a car or a bike/bicycle as buses are only going to cities like Jerez de la Frontera, Malaga, Sevilla, etc, etc.
Trains come several times daily from Madrid, Sevilla and Cadiz up till San Fernando.
