Costa de la Luz
The Costa de la Luz (Coast of light) is the western part of the Andalucía coastline that faces out to the Atlantic
The 90km coast between Cadiz and Tarifa can be windy, and its Atlantic waters are a shade cooler than those of the Mediterranean. But these are a small price to pay for an unspoiled, often wild shore, strung with long, clean, white-sand beaches and just a few small towns and villages. Andalucians are well aware of its attractions and flock down here in their thousands during July and August, bringing a vibrant fiesta atmosphere to the normally quiet coastal settlements. It is therefore advisable to book your accommodation well in advance of your stay.
The typical beaches here are more expansive and probably backed by sand dunes and pine trees. This part of the coast has not seen the high-rise hotel development of other areas. Although temperatures are slightly milder than neighbouring Costa del Sol, the often strong Atlantic winds and waves are favoured by wind surfers and surfboarders alike.
