Costa de la Luz Holidays

The wild and beautiful Costa de la Luz is Spain’s own little secret; the Spanish themselves come here for seaside holidays and weekends on the beach. This undeveloped coastline with its blonde beaches and old Andalusian towns is steeped in Spanish tradition with flamenco, horsemanship and sherry high on any visitors’ must-see and do list. Spend a lazy afternoon exploring through the narrow streets and whitewashed houses of the famous hilltop Pueblos Blancos (White Towns) or bring your binoculars and go bird and wildlife spotting in Donana National Park or the Marismas de Isla Cristina in Huelva, both havens for millions of migrating birds each year.

Head inland to the regional capital of Seville, which dates back to Roman times. It squares off against the smaller city of Jerez, famous for sherry production, that stakes a rival claim as the true home of flamenco. So saddle up and prepare to explore the highlights of the Costa de la Luz or ‘Coast of Light’, Spain’s secret summer playground with its unspoiled beaches and rolling Atlantic surf.
