http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/37115 You can surf, swim, body board or simply throw out your towel and sit and watch the waves hit the beach and relax. It is perfect at any time of day - for a morning swim, a lunch-time picnic, romantic stroll or to watch the sun go down over the water.
Also at this end is a wonderful little restaurant with a beautiful garden, just right for lounging back on a wicker chair with an Estrella.
You can camp in El Palmar but we stayed in the town of Vejer de la Frontera, 12km away - probably my favourite town in Spain.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/37115 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/36615 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/36615 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/36612 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/36612 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34991 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34991 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34990 Evening walk around enjoying the views of white houses, old plazas and mystic looks of Moorish-built churches, all this scenery lit with sunset light only brings peace and complete disconnection from the reality to anyone. Perfect for a romantic getaway or just a relaxation trip!
And of course, having dinner on one of the terraces savoring typical dishes made only from local produce or catch! (like Atun de Barbate). Don't miss the "Atun encebollado", "Chipirones a la plancha" and a "copita" of chilled "Barbadillo" white wine!
To stay you can find many small house-like clean hotels or for a bit of romance and luxury. Check out La Casa del Califa hotel with it's breathtaking views from the terrace.
Still think you can resist it?]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34990 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34882 Having travelled on a bus from nearby Cadiz I set out on foot to wander the tight web of streets.
Then, coming to the edge of town, looked down to a field where a donkey stood obstinately braying.
At lunchtime I entered from the sunshine into the gloom of a bar where three – what I thought to be local – men stood chatting and laughing.
I ordered a bottle of San Miguel at two-thirds the price of more touristy places and sat at a table to write postcards undisturbed.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34882 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32031 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32031 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22358 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22358
