May 7 - Arcos de la Frontera to Vejer de la Frontera

We left Arcos and drove to Vejer de la Frontera stopping along the way to find pastry. Although the town we were in was fairly large, we couldn't find a pastry store. I settled on a banana from a produce store.

Hotel Convento De San Francisco

Vejer is a beautiful white village and appropriate for our final Andalusia stop. Our hotel, Convento De San Francisco, was a convent many years ago. It is now a beautiful hotel. The rooms have tiled floors and whitewashed walls. Nearby, I managed to find a tapas bar and ate enough to supplement my banana.

Our final Happy Hour and group dinner was at El Jardin del Califa a North African & Middle Eastern restaurant. On our group walk over to it, we stopped at a pretty fountain on the Plaza de Espana for a group photo. Our photographer was a Russian tourist who was touring Spain with his family. We saw him again at the hotel where we had champagne toasts celebrating our journey on a patio overlooking the valley below the town. For dinner, we sat at a very long table and had very good Moorish food. My choice was lamb tagine. Here is the menu:
