About Costa de la Luz
The Costa de la Luz, the Coast of Light, is the western part of the Andalucía coastline and thanks to its golden beaches, ancient buildings and thriving nightlife, it still today lives up to its name. With its long coast of endless fine sand, this area remains today unspoiled un untouched by mainstream tourism. The area is first famous for its hidden coves of crystal-clear turquoise waters, wide stretches of soft sand and hip bars and clubs, but the always reliable wind and waves also attract windsurfers, kiteboarders and any type of water sports enthusiasts.
