VACATIONS SPAIN - COSTA DE LA LUZ
Ideal for "get away from it all" Spanish holidays since it is not terribly developed, the Costa de la Luz is situated in the southerly region of Andalucia on Spain´s west coast, just below Portugal.
This extensive area of sandy beaches, pine trees and small fishing villages is bathed by the Atlantic Ocean and can be divided into two main areas: the western Costa de la Luz, which is in the Province of Huelva; and the eastern Costa de la Luz, in the Province of Cádiz.
The beaches found on the west side tend to be long and wide with fine, golden sand. It is home to several small seaside towns, many backed by sand dunes and pine trees, where you get the chance to discover the "real Spain".Main resorts include Isla Cristina, La Antilla, El Rompido, Punta Umbria and Matalascañas, the latter being an ideal base for a trip to Doñana Park - one of Spain´s largest national parks which serves as a stop-over for birds migrating between Europe and Africa.
Beaches to the east tend also to be long with fine, golden sand but with huge sand dunes. The coastline is dotted with small fishing villages and it is great for surfing and windsurfing.
Main tourist centers on this side include Conil de la Frontera, Caños de Meca, Zahara de las Atunes, Bolonia and Valdevaqueros, Tarifa.

Moving away from the Costa de la Luz, round to the south-east of Spain, we have the bustling Costa del Sol - a long-time favorite for vacations Spain!
What can we say about it that has not already been said?! It is the best-known and most highly-developed costa of Andalucia, situated in the Province of Málaga, facing the Mediterranean Sea.
Its Mediterranean waters are warm and safe, its climate mild and the coast well-sheltered from northerly winds by a mountain chain.
With its lengthy promenades, long stretches of beaches, swaying palm trees and brilliant bougainvillaea, it is no wonder that most of the resorts along the Costa del Sol - in particular Marbella, Torremolinos and Fuengirola - are packed out in the summer.
They offer plenty to do and see: jet skis, marinas, bars, restaurants and night-life ... you name it, they´ve got it! If you want to "live-it-up", play with the jet set and party all night long, well ... this is certainly the place to be!
Having said that, you do not have to wonder very far away from these main resorts to find the peaceful ambience of country villages and ... of course, the golf courses!
Main beaches on the west side of the Costa del Sol include Playa el Cristo - Estepona, San Pedro, Playa Nueva Andalucia; Puerto Banus - Marbella and La Carihuela; Torremolinos.
Beaches on the east side include Calahonda and Calas Occidentales - Nerja and El Maro.
