Explore Vejer

The first thing a traveler should do on arriving in Vejer is to wander through the maze of narrow streets and squares of the old medieval town. As the streets zigzag up and down, it is easy to lose your way, but don't worry enjoy the townscape. Castles, convents, palaces, and churches can all be found in the confines of the beautiful white walled city.

Biking and Horseback Riding

A great way to see the countryside around Vejer is to ride a bicycle or horse out to the windmills. These particular windmills only recently stopped producing wheat and olive oil so they are in good condition and are as authentic as can be. A Roman aqueduct and grazing bulls from local bullfighting ranches can be seen as well.

The Beach

No visitor should miss taking a walk along one of the wide beaches foundnear Vejer de la Frontera. El Palmar Beach is well preserved because the authorities allow no construction nearby, and it is free from crowds and ideal for resting or surfing. Canos de Meca Beach is full of life and fun, it has more visitors but its cove is great for wind surfing.

Other Activities

Paragliding, snorkeling, scuba diving, wind surfing, Grazalema Nature Park, and hiking.
