The whiteness of the streets of Vejer de la Frontera // La blancura de las calles de Vejer de la Frontera

in Worldmappin3 years ago (edited)

Strolling through the streets of this old town with centuries of history takes you back in time. Narrow corridors where vehicles do not pass and whitewashed houses protecting you from the heat of the strong southern Spanish sun. The elevated location of the town means that the wind blows through the streets and dries the clothes hanging out to dry in a short time.

Pasear por las calles de este viejo pueblo con siglos de historia te transporta a otras épocas. Estrechos pasillos donde no pasan los vehículos y casas encaladas protegiendo del calor del fuerte sol del sur de España. La elevada ubicación de la localidad hace que corra el viento por sus calles secando la ropa tendida en poco tiempo.

This Muslim walled town was reconquered by Christian troops in 1292. But the old town has hardly changed in all these centuries, maintaining the urban architecture of the time.

The cobbled streets with slight slopes and the houses adorned with the typical latticed windows with some flower pots make you get lost in the streets, discovering new squares that you never knew existed.

Las calles empedradas con ligeras pendientes y las casas adornadas con las típicas ventanas enrejadas con alguna maceta floreada hace que te pierdas por el entramado descubriendo nuevas plazas que no sabías que existía.

That old street lamp from the first photo is very lovely, it may be old, but it never goes out of style.

Classics never go out of fashion. Thank you very much and best regards.
