OUR STORY

The author who never considered herself much of a hiker…

My name is Anne Middelkamp, I was born 60 years ago in Friesland in The Netherlands. I have wobbly knees and bad eyesight so I have never considered myself much of a hiker! In my free time I love going to the cinema, dancing or reading a good book on the sofa with a glass of wine.

I met my love Arco 30 years ago and we started a travel company and a family at the same time, then moved to Spain. Wonderful Spain, wild and fascinating Spain. After five years in Catalonia we moved to the opposite end of the country, to the province of Cádiz in Andalusia, in the far south.

We rescued an abandoned puppy called Tommie who ran free around our huge garden in the countryside. When we moved to the nearby town of Vejer de la Frontera I had to take the dog out for walks. Over time the walks grew longer and longer, for miles and miles along the endless beaches and into the green hills of the Costa de la Luz. At the weekends we drove into the vast and empty mountains of the Alcornocales Natural Park. We took picnics, our husbands, our kids and hundreds of pictures.

I thought it would be nice to write about these amazing and memorable walks and to share the best of them with the whole world! So i did!

I hope you enjoy this beautiful, unspoilt corner of Spain as much as I do!

OUR CADIZ

Cádiz: Pure, authentic, wild and fascinating Spain

Cádiz, ‘El sur del sur’ – the south of the south. The province of Cádiz is located at the southernmost tip of Europe. Here you feel you can almost touch Africa across the shimmering ocean. Cádiz has a great variety of landscapes from the high peaks of the Grazalema Natural Park in the north, to the green rolling hills of the south, with their sea of sunflowers in the spring.

On the Costa de la Luz, the aptly-named ‘coast of light’, there are endless white sand beaches, high cliffs and hidden coves. There are wetlands and waves, fairytale forests, dolphins and whales to spot and and an amazing abundance of birds in the Strait of Gibraltar. In this province there are no less than 6 natural parks, as you will discover, Cádiz is a paradise for nature-lovers and hikers!

Cádiz is Andalusia in a nutshell, a distillation of everything that is best about this part of Spain. The Feria del Caballo in Jerez is the finest and most welcoming in the country, with its horses, proud riders and elegant señoritas in their ‘traje de gitana’.

The white beaches of the Costa de la Luz are endless and divine. No high-rise buildings here, just countless fish restaurants and laid-back ‘chiringuitos’ for relaxing with a mojito or ‘tinto de verano’ with your feet in the sand at sunset.

Cádiz has a plethora of ‘pueblos blancos’, beautiful white fortified villages with castles on top, such as Arcos de la Frontera, Vejer de la Frontera, Zahara de la Sierra, Medina Sidonia, Grazalema, Jimena de la Frontera and Castellar de la Frontera. The addition ‘de la Frontera’ marks the limit to where the Moors ruled for eight centuries and everywhere you will find evidence of their outstanding cultural legacy.

One coastal highlight is the popular fishing village of Conil de la Frontera, once home to the legendary nobleman and Spanish hero, Guzmán el Bueno. Tarifa, the southernmost town in Europe, is a raw, colourful and cultural town, popular with kite surfers because of its powerful winds.

In Cádiz you can find something for everyone and more than you can imagine…

When I'm going to town, I'm going to Cádiz Cádiz, at a 40 minutes drive from where I live, is the nicest town I know! And also the nearest, lucky me! I have to spend an afternoon and evening there at least every month. Cádiz, the oldest port city in Europe, is...

Picasso in Vejer!

A week ago, on Monday 8 May, a number of vans pulled up our steep and narrow street, preceded by a police car with blaring sirens and followed by camera crews. Now what? A film crew? A hot Pursuit, A dignitary? A precious statue of Virgin Mary? None of the above. No...
