| Plaza de España, Vejer. |
If you are exploring the N340 Costa de la Luz coast
road, you'd be wise to make time for a wander around Vejer. This
classic white village on the hilltop is well worth a visit. It is
actually 10 kilometers inland, perched high above the steep gorge
of the River Barbate.
The more interesting arrival is from the outpost
at the bottom of the ravine called La Barca de Vejer. From
here take the steep road up the escarpment and straight into the
beautiful Plaza de Espana, undoubtedly one of the prettiest village
squares in Spain. The town square, shaded by vast palm trees, has
a wonderful old fountain with traditional ceramic Andalucian frogs,
which spout water high into the air, thus forming a fountain. If
you are lucky, park the car in the plaza. If not park on the road
leading up to the plaza and walk back.
From the plaza enter the old walled town through
the arch (Arco de la Villa). This stunning castellated town is a
magical place to explore, its quiet cobbled streets meandering through
a charming jumble of secret corners, hidden patios and delightful
houses. One is relieved to find barely a hint of plastic or a trace
of the 20th Century. Even the rubbish bins appear to have been carefully
designed to please the eye!
The village has been officially declared an Historical
Artistic Monument of National importance.
