Costa de La Luz |
| The Costa de la Luz (Coast of light) is the western part of the Andalucia coastline that faces out to the Atlantic. The sand is finer and a more golden colour than the neighbouring Costa del Sol. The typical beaches here are more expansive and probably backed by sand dunes and pine trees. This part of the coast has not seen the high-rise hotel development of other areas. The temperatures are slightly milder and the often strong Atlantic winds and waves are favoured by wind surfers and surfboarders alike. The quickest way to reach the Costa de La Luz is via Faro airport in Portugal, Malaga on the Costa del Sol or fly direct into the new Jerez airport but flights are very limited. |

Huelva. The province of Huelva offers immense beaches, scattered with shells. The coastal area is taking the overspill from the crowded Costa del Sol. There are ample good quality hotels in the area and several major golf courses. The province is also well known for the Doñana National Park, one of the most noteworthy places in Europe. By the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, the area covers a huge expanse of protected land. Huelva has always had a fishing industry and this still remains today, distributing fresh produce to the whole of Spain. In it's past, Huelva has also been the centre of mineral mining from the nearby river beds. On the other side of the Rio Tinto stands Moguer, a beautiful town with many interesting sights to see including the famous Convento de Santa Clara where Christopher Columbus gave thanks after returning from his first voyage. From here, head to the coast to find the beach of Mazagon, dotted with pine trees and home to a fine marina and many splendid hotels. The beaches along here are particularly good for wind surfing and other water sports. From this point you are very close to the Doñana National Park. |
