Arcos De La Frontera Hotels and Accommodation

Arcos De La Frontera is a Spanish town located in the autonomous community of Andalusia, in the south of the country. Arcos De La Frontera is not far from the famous old port town of Cadiz. The town stands along the east bank of the Guadalete River, atop a stony ridge. From these heights, residents of Arcos De La Frontera are treated to a spectacular view of the Guadalete Valley below them. The history and contemporary appearance of Arcos De La Frontera is determined largely by the medieval conflicts between Christians and Moors over control of the Iberian peninsula. Arcos De La Frontera was a major Christian stronghold since the 13th century, and the Christians' first "frontier" against the Moors--a role that gave the town its current name.
