This small Andalusian town is something that will stay in your memory for eternity and will always bring wonderful feelings every time you think of it. Vejer is a Moorish founded village and wandering around it you will see that ancient houses and churches still breathing that epoch.
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?

After I´ve seen this week´s theme, I´ve hurried to spread the word about a lovely hotel, Hotel Chancilleria, in the land of sherry wine - Jerez de la Frontera. This is a small new boutique hotel, that has a beautiful blossoming garden, a wonderful roof terrace with city views, including few main churches and well known flamenco birthplace area - Santiago. In summer, you can enjoy an exquisite dinner in a beautiful garden (Restaurante Sabores), and continue chilling out on the roof terrace accompanied by great cocktails and live Jazz music.. or just take a favourite book, sun protection! and spend your day sunbathing on the roof!
In my opinion Hotel Chancilleria has its all - friendly owners and staff, beautifully decorated rooms and areas, great location and just something different to anyone who visits it!
