Costa de la Luz

Costa de la Luz - The Coast of Light

The Costa de la Luz couldn’t be more different from its Costa cousins. Facing the Atlantic on Spain’s most south-westerly stretch of coast, it’s Spain without its make-up – a place where the scenery and traditional way of life hold sway over high rises and holiday crowds. 

The Costa de la Luz lines up the beaches. There’s more than 200 kilometres of coastline in this part of Spain and it’s outfitted with long sandy stretches and quieter coves. This section of shoreline is also daubed with Blue Flag status. At least 30 of Costa de la Luz’s beaches have been awarded this coveted accolade.
