On clear days, the morning sun casts a rosy glow over the whitewashed houses of Vejer de la Frontera. Far away in the distance – beyond the green fields, the pale-blonde beaches of the windswept Costa de la Luz and the glinting Barbate wetlands – you might just make out Morocco looming across the Strait of Gibraltar. Its influence has helped shape the ancient hilltop town of Vejer, one of Andalucia’s most charming pueblos blancos (white villages), which in recent years has become a sizzling hub of creativity.
