Property in Costa De La Luz

Costa De La Luz:

The new coastline in the heart of Andalucia between Cadiz and Tarifa at Spain's southernmost tip known as "The Spanish Algarve", the place to find the best examples of Andaluz Moorish architecture. With miles of unspoilt empty beaches close to the sherry towns of Jerez & Cadiz described as the coast with everything!, spectacular scenery, Flamenco horses, the best seafood and properties!.

Costa de La Luz, or "coast of light" generally unspoilt but windswept it is often possible to see the outline of Tangier and the parched Moroccan landscape below the Rif mountains across the narrow straight of Gibraltar. Tarifa has become known as the windsurfing capital of Europe with the winds that blow across the beaches providing power to the wind turbines visible on the hills above.

Although other Europeans have been coming in small numbers to the Costa de la Luz for a few years now, the area has never been spoilt by mass tourism. The attractions of the Costa de la Luz are simple; friendly people, beautiful scenery and fine sandy beaches aswell as delicious food.

Costa De La Luz is a world apart from the more commercialized Mediterranean coastline and is a great favourite with the Spanish. Stretching from Gibraltar to the Algarve border, restrictions on development have meant that some of the finest beaches in Europe are totally unspoilt. Our aim is to find you your dream home, at the best possible price, in this wonderful unspoilt part of Spain.
For more than 150 kilometres you pass only a dozen or so hotels and a few traditional coastal towns and villages, yet you are close to some of the most fascinating cities in Europe. Although the vast, often deserted beaches are a sufficient attraction, this area of Andalucia is steeped in history and culture. The wonderful cities of Cadiz, Jerez and Seville are close by, as are the hilltop towns of Vejer and Arcos.

Refreshing evening breezes blow in from North Africa, whose coast is visible from the southern peninsula. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, the climate can best be described as North African climate.

In August, the average maximum daytime temperature is 30.4° C, whilst in January it is 17° C.

Things to see & do

Festivals

Feria which takes place in May/June is a major event in most towns - a time for residents to don their colourful flamenco costumes and parade around the feria ground, many on horseback. It is an opportunity to meet friends, enjoy tapas and the local dry sherries, fino or manzanilla and to dance sevillanas to the accompaniment of the andaluz music which pulsates in every tent. And there are many more festivals and celebrations : the February Carnaval in Cádiz, Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Seville, La Feria de Primavera (Spring festival) in El Puerto, Sanlúcar’s horse races along the beach in July and the September wine festival in Jeréz. There is never a dull moment.

What to See

This is an excellent base for touring, with Seville, Gibraltar, Arcos de la Frontera and the Pueblos Blancos all within a day’s drive. And locally, you can tour the sherry bodegas of El Puerto and Jeréz, take a ferry across the bay from El Puerto to historic Cádiz, wander through the narrow streets of the old town centres, see the horses perform at the Royal Andalucian Equestrian School in Jeréz or visit the renowned Dońana nature reserve on the Guadalquivir.
