Information about Vejer
Vejer, thanks to its position, was an area of some of the oldest civilizations in southern Europe (Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans)
After the Roman domination, Visigothic villages were established in its region, and in its surroundings, between the lagoon that is only 8 km.
Conquered by the Arabs, it remained in Muslim hands for 539 years, and they strongly imprinted their character to the city, in the configuration of its narrow and twisted streets, in the layout of its houses, of demure exterior appearance and cheerful inner courtyard, in the traditions that its people have preserved through the centuries and even in their typical costume, that until a few years ago covered the faces of the old women, called the "sheltered".
In the year 1250, Ferdinand III the Saint wins the city for Castile, and its population and its castle remain as a border, hence its nickname against the Muslim power.
In the following centuries Vejer was a decisive watchtower for the defense of the fisheries that the Dukes of Medina had in Zahara, El Palmar and Conil.
The coasts were the scene of the famous Battle of Trafalgar, where the Franco-Spanish squadron was defeated by the English.
In the fifteenth century it was emancipated from this municipality of Conil de la Frontera, taking a third of its term. In the year 1.939 Barbate was also emancipated.
The city of Vejer de la Frontera was declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1.976 and I National Prize for Beautification of Towns of 1.978. Vejer shows in all its splendor the purest style of Arab-Andalusian popular architecture.
