Costa De La Luz West holidays

The Costa de la Luz, AKA the ‘Coast of Light’, is the perfect choice for a sun-kissed holiday in southern Spain. Known for its golden sandy beaches, it stretches along the glistening Atlantic from Tarifa to the pretty Portuguese border. Tranquil seaside towns and vibrant cultural experiences – that's the make-up of this diverse region. But you’ve also got natural parks, fascinating towns such as Tarifa and Ayamonte, and top-notch golf courses at your fingertips too. Water sports fan? Surfing and windsurfing are big business around these parts! When it comes to dishes, look forward to fresh seafood and Andalusian specialties packed with fresh, local ingredients. Fly into Faro Airport and you’ll have the whole region to explore.
