Costa de la Luz and surrounding region


The surrounding area If you ever tire of the charms of Vejer itself you'll find you are close to many other interesting places. Jerez, Seville, Medina Sidonia and Arcos de la Frontera are all within striking distance. As are Tarifa, Conil and El Palmar.

A great place to be any time of year - not just during Semaña Santa or the Feria de Abril. For sports enthusiasts there's wind and kite surfing down at Tarifa, and for the 'beach bum' there are two great beaches about 10 minutes drive at Conil and El Palmar.

Right at the end of Conil's long and empty beach at Fontanilla is Restaurante Fransisco. A great place for lunch at any time of the year but particularly wonderful out of season. We visited one Sunday in mid December and enjoyed Carpaccio of Tuna and a dish of Sea Bream in sherry and grilled Tuna steak washed down with a local white table wine - 'Tierra Blanca'.

The wind was offshore, the sun was shining and apart from one intrepid surfer, we had the beach to ourselves.
