Parking in Vejer and El Palmar

Why park outside

Vejer sits on top of a hill, with an old town of narrow, steep, whitewashed streets inside the 15th-century wall. It is not a place to drive around or look for parking. The practical thing is to leave the car in one of the car parks the town council signposts around the old town and enter on foot through one of the arches of the wall.

Parking in Vejer

The municipal tourism website lists these car parks, with their address:

• Los Remedios, on Calle de los Remedios.
• La Corredera, at Calle de la Corredera, 17.
• Paseo de las Cobijadas, at number 12, and Manzanares, at number 17 of the same promenade.
• Plaza de la Paz, at number 1.
• Camino de la Oliva.
• Parque Nelson Mandela, on Calle Don Quijote.
• Centro de Salud, at Avenida Andalucía, 8, and Zona Franca, also on Avenida Andalucía.
• Molinero, on Calle Molinero.
• Chorrillo, at Calle Chorrillo, 3.
• Recinto ferial La Noria, at Calle Hijuela de Lucas, 26.

The website gives no prices or number of spaces for the village's car parks. From Paseo de las Cobijadas, for example, you can walk to the restaurant El Muro. Those on Avenida Andalucía and the fairground are an alternative if the others are full. The car park map can be downloaded from the tourism website or you can get it at the tourist office.

Parking at El Palmar

At El Palmar beach, on the Atlantic shore, almost all the car parks are on the promenade or next to it, and most are paid, at €4 to €5: Chambala, Trujillo, the one on Avenida de la Playa next to the El Dorado beach bar, Palmar Centro, A la Verita del Mar, on the Camino de Guerrero, Baranda, Nómada, Hilari Surf, Aquí me Quedo and Dido.

There are also free spaces. On the promenade there are two free car parks for people with reduced mobility, one next to the former Origen and another opposite Casa Juan, and one free car park between Casa Juan and Casa Francisco. On the Carretera de la Playa is the free car park of the Residents' Association. Motorhomes have their own car park, El Palmar Beach, on the promenade, priced according to length of stay.

If you come for a surf lesson at El Palmar or to eat at the restaurant El Alférez, which is on the same beach, any of those on the promenade will do.
