Tours & Activities in Vejer de la Frontera
Vejer , since the Phoenicians passed through Cádiz, has accumulated centuries of History. Today we see Roman Walls and Gates leading to the Historic Center , elements of the Aljama Mosque on the original temple with its Sahan (patio) integrated into the current Church of the Savior. The imprint of the Umayyads such as Abderramán II in the Castle or the Alfices (arches) of the Almohads. The imprint of Islam, present for almost 5 centuries and its harmony with the Jews is unique in Vejer. The Sephardim left their mark in the Jewish quarter, where my family lived.
We will enter the Walled Enclosure through the Puerta de la Segur , to go to the Main Church and the Castle. Then we will go down through the Jewish Quarter to the Mirador de la Cobijadas , to contemplate the Atlantic Ocean and Africa. From there to the narrow streets of the Arab Quarter.
