Local activities in and around Vejer De La Frontera, Costa de la Luz - Cadiz
This relatively untouched corner of Spain offers a taste of traditional Spain, with its stunning scenery, culture and architecture – including our own beautiful Moorish ´white village´ of Vejer de la Frontera, just 8 minutes drive away. Some of the best beaches on the Costa de la Luz are just 10 minutes away by car - the long golden beaches of El Palmar & Canos de Meca up to Conil are particularly good for younger families in the summer and surfers in the winter, while Tarifa is the kitesurfing capital of Europe.
A range of excellent shops, markets and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets can be found in the local towns and villages, including two in our own village of El Soto (the little wood) just 5 minutes walk away, with an emphasis on fresh, local produce and traditional crafts. Dehesa Montemedio is less than 500m walk away and offers a range of outdoor activities including worldclass golf & equestrian facilities in its vast, natural parklands. ´The layout of the tees and greens make this course one of the best in Europe both in quality and landscape´, according to Spanish professional Severiano Ballesteros. Within a short drive away there are also several other excellent courses such as Benalup & Novo Sancti Petri.
Montenmedio also offers a wide range of other activities such as horseriding, 4WD & quad-biking and a modern art exhibition centre. There is a wealth of choice for nature lovers too - from whale & dolphin watching to safaris exploring the wonderful regional National Parks such Donana and Los Alconocarles, or simply birdwatching and enjoying the local flora & fauna walks. Your days can be as active or as laid-back as you wish and you also do not have to arrange everything in advance, rather just take it day by day. Sherry-tasting, a day-trip to Seville, Cadiz or even Morocco or Gibraltar are among popular favourites.
