Vejer de la Frontera

Vejer de la Frontera, (Cádiz - Andalucía) Spain

This gem sitting atop a hill less than five miles (8 km) from the unspoiled white-sand beaches of the Atlantic Ocean was under Muslim rule for more than 500 years (711-1248).  It is surrounded by orchards and olive groves making agriculture and fruit-farming its chief industries.

Remote whitewashed villages like this one are spotted all over the countryside, making beautiful backdrops as you are exploring this alluring area of Spain.  Vejer de la Frontera is a perfect place to get lost by wandering its steep narrow streets and admiring its stunning views.  This is by far one of my favorite places in all of Spain!

Treat yourself by staying at the charming la Botica, exact place from where this picture is taken!  I absolutely love Vejer de la Frontera!  :)

So pretty - what camera did you use?

Thanks! This one isn't taken with my SLR. All the panorama shots you see here are done with my handy SONY DSC HX1.
