The Town
Vejer has Moorish origins.
The Catholic Church is supposed to have been built on the site of the Arab mosque and the castle boasts a fine example of a Moorish horseshoe arch.
The Christian reconquest of 1250 bequeathed high stone walls, battlements and town’s once gated arches. Traditionally Spanish, Vejer is a place where time is measured differently and is a great base for touring.
