Hiking & Food tours in Vejer de la Frontera and Cadiz
Hello, If you are looking at this post is because you are interested in experiencing a full day tour for sightseeing Cadiz province or Vejer de la Frontera. My name is John Carlos Milburn Rodríguez and I live in Vejer de la Frontera, Cadiz. I founded Explore la Tierra, here in Vejer, and am the main guide!
I studied an MSc in Environment and have worked in the environmental field for 5 years between Canada and UK. After working and travelling outside of Spain for several years, I realised how amazing it is that many of Spain’s resources, including pork, and Bluefin tuna are sustainably harvested. When I recognised that many friends and people who I met outside Spain knew little about the varied and wonderful products and places that Spain has to offer. I decided to do something about it by creating Explore la Tierra in Vejer de la Frontera. Being a wine lover I studied wine courses. I earned a Level2 certificate with Distinction from the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET), a globally recognised program.
I am lucky to live in Vejer de la Frontera, which is one of the famous white towns of Cadiz. In 1978 it received the prize of the most beautiful town / village in Spain. Since 2014, Vejer is in the list of the most beautiful villages/ towns in Spain. A great place for Explore la Tierra and show our local culture and gastronomy to the rest of the world.
