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 SemaƱa 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.

El Faro restaurant

One of our favourite day trips is to Cadiz and lunch at El Faro is always high on the list of priorities.

There are 2 parts to El Faro restaurant; an excellent tapas bar with standing room only, and a very fancy sit down restaurant (pricey but worth it). The puddings here are probably the best we've ever had in Spain (not much of an accolade considering that most Spanish puddings are usually sweet and flavourless, but El Faro's hot chocolate sandwich with chocolate sauce would satisfy most people's need for a choccy fix!).
