Hotels In Costa luz

The Costa de la Luz or "Coast Of Light" is rightly named because of its strong pure light that sweeps across the unspoilt coastline. You can choose from long stretches of beach or small intimate coves with a mild climate throughout the ear.  The autumn and winter are cool and sunny, the spring mild and in the summer the Atlantic breeze helps keep the temperature at a pleasant 25C.

The 300km coastline of the Costa de la Luz is the most southerly point in mainland Spain, located on the Atlantic coastline and forming the western part of Andalucia it  stretches from Punta de Tarifa in the Straits of Gibraltar to Ayamonte which is on the border with Portugal. There are some fabulous dune backed beaches of fine white sand, pinewoods and fishing villages and magical sunsets to be found here.

The Costa De La Luz has two main provinces: Huelva and Cadiz which contain the beautiful and historic cities of Seville and Cadiz. The town of Isla Cristina is a fishing port with more than 300 boats,  and further down the coast linked by a long stretch of golden beach lies Huelva in Islantilla. Between Huelva and Cadiz province is the Donana national park which is the most important  bird and wildlife sanctuary in Europe.

The province of Cadiz has many inviting coastal and inland areas including Chiclana,  which is recognised as having the best unspoilt coastline in the Costa De La Luz with the beautiful La Barossa beach which has the Blue Flag award and  is considered one of the best on the Andalusian coast stretching along eight kilometres of fine  sand. The rolling dunes and cliffs also characterize this wild and unspoilt area.

The small town of Sancti- Petri lies on the other side of La Barossa beach and is a picturesque harbour full of brightly coloured fishing and sailing boats. The harbour is popular with water sport enthusiasts and there is a small jetty where cruises depart for sea excursions including a whale watching tour off Tarifa.
