On the Plaza de España we found the jewel of Vejer de la Frontera; Garimba sur!
A beautiful and charming restaurant, with thé perfect terrace.
And than the food, so pure!
Everything tasted muy bien.
The delicious gazpacho, patatas bravas and solomillo (with melting flor de sal) we could not resist and came back more than once...

birthday in cadiz

birthday in cadiz, a photo by wood & wool stool on Flickr.

Born on August 1
I'm lucky to celebrate my birthday in a special place with my loved ones.
Since ages it's a glorious tradition and this year we partied in Cadiz.
There was a pretty strong breeze, hence the deserted beach...

nuestra casa blanca

I didn't know it even existed; a real 'pueblo blanco'.
No billboards, no disturbing elements and yes every single house is white in Vejer de la Frontera.
Our casa blanca was perfect, situated in the middle of the village.
A sober house, but stylish. No ugly decoration or wrong seat (absolutely nothing to put away)
A small home with roof terrace (sometimes a bit windy).
Okay, not everything's white.
From here we started our beach days (almost every time another beach) and visits to the beautiful Spanish cities Cadiz, Jerez, Seville and Tarifa.

In the harbor of the old fishing village Barbate,
beauty of faded glory,
wooden shipwrecks,
half sunken boats,
oh all these enviable sun-bleached boards.
If only I could bring some...

Here we are in Tarifa, the southernmost part of Spain and we could almost touch Morocco.
