Vejer de la Frontera- Cadiz. Spain
Vejer de la Frontera es un municipio español localizado en la provincia de Cádiz (Andalucía). El núcleo de la localidad se erige sobre un monte de 200 metros de altura, a orillas del río Barbate y a 8 kilómetros de distancia de la costa. El término municipal incluye un tramo de costa del océano Atlántico, donde se asienta El Palmar de Vejer, un pequeño núcleo rural que destaca por el turismo. La economía del municipio depende de la agricultura y del turismo estival a pequeña escala. La locución “de la Frontera” alude a la Frontera Granadina.
Su centro histórico amurallado, que aún conserva el castillo y varias iglesias significativas, fue declarado conjunto histórico-artístico en el año 1976.1 Vejer forma parte de la conocida como ‘Asociación Los Pueblos Más Bonitos de España‘ desde el año 2014.2
Vejer ha estado poblada desde principios del Paleolítico y ya estaba fortificada en la Edad del Bronce. De época tartésica y romana se han hallado restos que datan del siglo VII a. C. debajo de las murallas actuales, que se han atribuido a Baesippo. Sin embargo, es posible que esta ciudad estuviera más bien en Barbate, pues el nombre de Vejer podría proceder de Baesarum, ciudad documentada por Plinio como Baesaro o Besaro.4
En el año 711, Vejer cayó en manos musulmanas tras la batalla de Guadalete, en la cual los musulmanes, comandados por Táriq ibn Ziyad, derrotaron a Don Rodrigo. La población permaneció bajo dominio árabe durante cinco siglos y medio, denominándose Bashir. De esta época quedan vestigios como la puerta del castillo, del siglo XI, parte de las murallas y el entramado de sus calles.
