Several years ago, when our children were much younger, we spent a wonderful week on the Costa de la Luz for our summer holiday and loved the buzzing, lively vibe without the hordes of international tourists. Full of long, sandy Atlantic beaches, hilltop towns and stunning Moorish architecture, it’s a favourite with Spanish tourists and there wasn’t a strip of high rise hotels in sight. This area has understated beauty and there’s nothing pretentious about it. Basing ourselves just outside of Chiclana, a few minutes walk from La Barrosa beach, we were able to explore lots of great beaches and towns from here.
For ideas on some beautiful beaches and interesting towns to visit in this amazing part of Spain, read more about our trip here. Let’s hope that in the next year we can all start seeing more of the world again.
