About Vejer de la Frontera

Vejer de la Frontera rises on a hill above the Barbate river in southern Cádiz province, a white town of steep lanes inside old walls. Windmills stand on the ridge, the Plaza de España holds a fountain and orange trees, and the coast at Conil, Barbate and Cape Trafalgar is a short drive down. Cádiz and Tarifa are within reach. Spring and autumn bring mild weather; summer is hot with strong coastal winds, and winter is usually gentle.
