Experience Spain like never before with a visit to the Costa de la Luz. This Spanish coast will challenge your preconceived notions of what a typical Spanish coast should be like. Unlike the crowded and overdeveloped beaches of theCosta de la Sol, it stretches from the Strait of Gibraltar to Portugal, offering miles and miles of awe-inspiring, wild sandy beaches.
The Coast of Light, as it is called, is uncompromisingly Hispanic and is primarily visited by Spaniards. In July and August, families migrate en masse from Madrid and Seville to their seaside apartments and villas, while students camp behind the beaches. This part of Spain is still very untouched, and most holidaymakers come from other parts of Spain, with some German and English families. As a result, most bars and restaurants are typically Andalusian and reflect this in their cuisine.
The resorts here are full of tapas bars and restaurants offering fantastic seafood. Unlike other Spanish coasts, the drink of choice here is not pints of lager but cold glasses of fino (dry sherry) and tinto de verano (chilled Rioja and lemonade served with ice). This is a part of Spain where siesta is a strictly enforced tradition, and everyone, regardless of age, stays up late. The main meal of the day is at 2:00 p.m., and dinner is at 10:00 p.m.
Visit the Costa de la Luz for an authentic Spanish experience like no other. Relax on the untouched beaches, savor the delicious Andalusian cuisine, and enjoy the unique Spanish culture that is strictly enforced in this part of Spain.
