Both the destinations on this tour are within striking distance of the Costa de la Luz, but they couldn't be more different. One is a typical whitewashed Andalusian village with tiled fountains, the other a slice of Britain with red phone booths. You'll begin with a tour of the charming Vejer de la Frontera, then head to Gibraltar for a boat cruise in the bay. Carmen, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘It's called Vejer de la Frontera because it was on the frontier between Christian and Muslim Spain. As a legacy of the past, there are 2km of walls and almost 200 heritage buildings, including the Gothic-Mudejar Church of San Salvador.
The adventure begins with a scenic drive inland, past rolling hills and a horizon dotted with whitewashed villages. You'll have about an hour in Vejer to tour its winding lanes and pretty plazas and soak up its history. Vejer shows its Moorish roots at every corner. It oozes history and enjoys a dramatic location in the hills. Don't miss the Plaza de España, which has to be one of Spain's most attractive squares, or the Mirador de la Cobijada, with its statue of a Vejer woman in traditional dress.'
Then it's on to Gibraltar, the tiny British territory, which is home to the highest concentration of dolphins in Europe. There's a good chance you'll spot some of these playful creatures on your dolphin-watching cruise around the Bay of Gibraltar. Afterwards, enjoy some free time to explore the town – it's a mecca for shoppers.
