In contrast to other regions of Spain The Costa de la Luz, near the rock of Gibraltar, is primarily undeveloped, it is well known for its huge range of seafood, and is a place where you can spend your time listening to music of all kinds in ancient monasteries, take a refreshing mud bath under the cliffs and swim with the dolphins in Tarifa. Tarifa is 14kms from Morocco North Africa and is a Mecca for wind and kite surfers, due to the good strong waves and the windy Atlantic, and is now amongst the top 3 surfing resorts in the world.
Cadiz is one of the oldest cities in Spain with quaint houses and sub-tropical vegetation. It was from Cadiz that Christopher Columbus set out on his second and fourth voyages. Today, Cadiz is still one of the busiest ports in Spain, with shipbuilding and naval dockyards. It is an industrial town, and big fishing center. Visitors are predominantly Spanish, apart from many who are just ‘passing through’, who come for the summer beaches and for the world famous "Cadiz Carnival" in February which is one of the most extravagant across Europe.
Zahara de los Atunes is still a small fishing village, yes, you can see some new resorts but much of the area is still relatively undeveloped. In the Summer months it is a holiday town, at the present time mainly for the Spanish, with a busy night life with music, live entertainment. Horseriding is a popular activity in the area, moon lit rides being very popular!
Vejer de la Frontera nestling between the sea and mountains is one of the most photographed white villages you will find in the whole of Andalucia. This hillside town has very interesting historical monuments and.is an example of what many towns and villages were like all over the region. Vejer is a warren of winding cobbled streets towering 600 feet above the surrounding terrain. The town has a relaxing atmosphere with a wide choice of local bars and restaurants.
Bolonia is a minute fishing village, 10km or so from Zahara. The historic site at Baelo Claudia is home to the preserved Roman city dating back to the end of the second century. Still un tarnished by mass tourism, Bolonia only has a few restaurants, a beach bar, and some cheap priced hostels.
Jerez de la Frontera, the well known Sherry area,can be found inland from the city of Cadiz, this is the area of the Spanish Riding School with its stunning Andalucian dancing horses. Jerez has its own international airport and is a modern city which is easily accessible along with a few top class golf courses, plus a range of sporting facilities and events such as the Spanish motorcycle Grand Prix.
Los Carios de Meca lies beneath pine covered hills in the Parque Natural del Acantilado. There are great beaches in this area (but beware, some are prone to very strong tides and currents) with many beach bars and discos throughout the summer. The Pirata, in the centre of Los Caños is a beautiful beach and has the best facilities with lifeguards, bars and restaurants and most importantly ...Toilets!!, which many of the others do not have.
Costa de la Luz is within 2 and a half hours or so of the UK, and the area has three airports, Faro, Jerez de la Frontera and Sevilla . Flights from the UK go to all three airports, and there are many cheap deals so why not book a flight and explore this wonderful area.
Welcome to our information:
Over the last few years The Spanish property market has seen a dramatic fall, causing stress for sellers looking to move, but on the other side of the coin, Spain is now a place you can pick up a bargain property either for investment or to live.
Some places in Spain have become over developed and over priced, so it maybe worth while looking at the "Up and Coming areas" not so developed by tourism for better value for money.. Here we look at Costa de la luz also known as "the rock of light".
