We bought our house in Vejer following an inspection trip in January 2005 when we fell in love with the town! We finally occupied in February 2007 and haven't looked back since!
We have been renting our house out which has been much harder work than we thought. Running costs are considerable but we are just about breaking even. We have had a steady stream of visitors who have all really enjoyed exploring the area. This year we had one return visitor and next year we have 3 already.
There is so much for visitors to do - Cadiz is only about 40 minutes away and is a lovely city to explore. It is full of narrow streets, churches and of course the famous cathedral.
Jerez is also about 40 minutes away and apart from the historic centre you can do a visit to a bodega or see the famous horses.
Conil is 15 minutes form Vejer and is a really Spanish seaside town. It gets quite busy in the summer with mainly Spanish visitors but also gets some Germans and British visitors. It is all low rise and has large sweeping beaches and also some nearby coves.
Our local beaches are El Palmar, Zahora and Trafalgar - scene of the famous battle. El Palmar is 9km long and has only a handful of restaurants - now large hotels. The surfing and body boarding is really good and there are several surf schools where you can hire equipment and have lessons.
