The Costa de la Luz region


Costa de la luz has both meditteranean and atlantic coastlines, giving both rocky beaches and 76 miles of golden sandy beaches between tarifa and cadiz. The climate is ideal with sea breezes keeping the hotest days bearable. Sunshine is unlimited in this most southern point in Europe. The cities of Cadiz, Seville and Jerez are all within a days visit, reachable by local bus and car. the area is full of history and stories of romans and moors, which is evident in the local towns and villages.
Gibraltar is within a 35 minute drive and well worth a day out.
Algeciras has a waterpark about a 15 minute drive away.
World famous kite surfing location.
The Tarifa / El Cuarton area
Fantastic beaches providing relaxing area's and specific kite surfing beaches.
Walks within 10 minutes of property.
Local village nearby with pharmacy, post office, bakery and 2 grocery stores. Traditional spanish restaurants serving excellent value for money meals.
Ferries to Morocco within 10 minute drive from apartment.
Tarifa feria held in early september.
Picnic area's nearby.
Hotel with excellant restaurant 5 minutes walk away.
Tarifa itself is an ancient walled town with many buildings of interest and even a moorish castle. The Med
meets the Atlantic in Tarifa and this provides the ideal water conditions to give Tarifa the reputation of the windsurfing capital of Europe. There are numerous festivals and feasts in the area, each town and village holding its own.
Every autumn thousands of soaring birds, principally storks and raptors, cross the Straits of Gibraltar on their southward migration into Africa. The spectacle of thousands of Honey Buzzards, hundreds of Booted Eagles, Black Kites and White Storks and a large assortment of scarcer species is a phenomenon which draws many birdwatchers to the southern tip of Europe.The beauty of this area is that, in addition to the migration, there are many other interesting species to be found in the mountains, wooded hills, lowlands, marshes and coast
The ferry runs from Tarifa to Tangiers, a journey boasted to be of 35 minutes, (I would take the timing with a pinch of salt) but a journey well recommended.
The ruins at Bolonia are a must, the dig is on going, and a new visitor centre has just opened (winter 2007). Take your EU passport and entrance is free.
A new supermarket has just opened at the end of the road, handy for basic supplies.

I've stayed at Casa McCallion near Tarifa for a kitesurfing vacations. My friends stayed in Tarifa and I did not find anything decent in the town as it was overbooked. Well, I must say thay the place exceeded my expectations a lot! Really beautiful big house, spacious room, clean and nice bathroom, a lot of place outside. And the atmosphere is absolutely charming - everything is made with style and love. And owners of the house - Kath and Eddie were absolutely fantastic. Warm, welcoming, friendly and nice people. Will definetely recommend! If you rent a car, this location is 10 mins from Tarifa and 20 mins from major beaches which is absolutely ok. |

The house is very inviting and has a number of accommodation options including B&B and aprtments. You are free to engage as much or as little as you want with the owners. It is extremely friendly. The views to the moroccan coast are great. I stayed at the house as a base for kitesurfing in Tarifa, Canos de Meca and Conil. It was perfect for my needs. If you are looking to access the wind of the area but not the hustle and bustle, then this house only 10mins drive from Tarifa is recommended. The property would be great for groups of friends or older travellers. |
