Most people have heard of the Portuguese Algarve with it's amazing beaches and wonderful backdrop.  The Costa de la Luz has been lauded by the travel writers as the Spanish Algarve except that it is not nearly as highly populated.  The beaches go on for miles and there are promenades so you can walk along the sea front for that daily stroll.

The region has its own detailed tourist information site so please click below and see what's on offer.

Islantilla is the new tourism capital of the Atlantic Coast. This heavenly coast of the south is surrounded by dozen of beautiful beaches where the sun always shines. Totally unspoilt by mass tourism and over development. A place which was designed to provide an escape for those searching for sun and active tourism. A big temptation for those who are keen on virgin beaches and exotic environment as well as sport and culture activities. All this and more, even the most demanding traveller will be satisfied with the quality and the beauty of the beaches.
