Description
The town of Vejer de la Frontera in the province of Cadiz, Andalusia, Spain, is a picturesque example of "pueblo blanco" or "white village," so called because of the white-washed houses. Occupying a hill that overlooks the Straight of Gibraltar; in ancient times, the site was location of fortresses used by Phoenicians, Romans, and later followed by Moorish rule that lasted from 711 till captured by Christian King St. Ferdinand of Castille. Vejer's typical houses and streets recall that long Moorish period. A narrow, shadowy street leading to the castle is graced by a tile picture of the Virgin of the Olive, patroness, flanked by typical wrought iron lamps. Dating from the X to XI centuries, the castle has undergone several restorations.
