Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying Spanish in Vejer de la Frontera. These homes are often between 2 - 15 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance.

Vejer de la Frontera is a beautiful and perfectly preserved white village on the Costa de la Luz, very close to the Straits of Gibraltar. From the top of the hill on which it is situated, you can see its beaches, nature reserves and the mountains of North Africa. There is no doubt that Vejer is an exceptional place, both for its history and nature.
The first time you visit this small town, many things will surprise you; the whiteness of its streets, the original makeup of its houses, as if designed by a Cubist painter, and, above all, the pleasant manner of the people. You have to visit the historic centre of the town and lose yourself in the alleys and the sloping lanes of the old part of the town. Alternatively zigzag through the old town wall gates which surround it, resting in any one of its terraces and enjoying a coffee after a walk.
If you look out from any of the viewpoints in Vejer, you can see that the town is surrounded by magnificent beaches and nature reserves. Some of these beaches are true treasures of dunes and fine sands, such as El Palmar. Others are famous for their festive atmosphere, above all the Caños de Meca. The nearest beach is just eight kilometres away. At the same time, it should be stressed that Vejer is less than half an hour from three important natural features: the Pinar of Barbate, a pine forest on a spectacular cliff, Los Alcornocales and the Parque del Estrecho. Due to all this, Vejer is a marvellous place for sports lovers, where hiking, trekking, cycling, climbing, kite surfing, and paragliding can be practised in the surrounding area. In the same way, Vejer is the perfect starting point for day trips around the ‘White Villages’, to Cadiz, to Ronda, or even a weekend in Morocco. In order to make the most of all this, La Janda organizes a daily cultural programme which, as well as conferences, cultural talks, and parties also include visits and trips to places of interest.
