Costa de la Luz
The Costa de la Luz, the Coast of Light, is one of the most attractive stretches of coast in Andaluciaa, outside the main tourist centres it is relatively undeveloped and there are wild, virtually untouched areas of beach. The resorts attract mainly Spanish tourists and although it does get busy during the summer, you can always find a fairly quiet spot. The wind can be strong along the coast here, but more than often, it provides a pleasant relief to the heat of the summer.map and info....
Campo de Gibraltar
The Campo de Gibraltar consists of the area of the Cádiz Province near to British owned Gibraltar. The thriving port city of Algeciras has a cosmopolitan atmosphere, regular ferries running from here to nearby Morocco as well as to the rest of the world and many of the signposts in the area are in Arabic as well as Spanish. Inland there are some fascinating villages and much of the area is beautiful, unspoilt national park.map and info..

Away from the coast and from heavily touristed areas and large urban centres, the white villages that nestle in the mountains of the Sierra are delightful, untouched places and the wild coutryside surrounding them boasts a wealth of flora, fauna and natural beauty.map and info..
Map of Cadiz Province
Occupying the southernmost part of Spain, the Andalucian province of Cadiz is a little known area of contrasting delights. The Costa de Luz - the Coast of Light - makes up Cadizīs coastline with 138km of often vast, unspoilt beaches and charming, low key resort towns frequented by Spanish tourists.
Cadiz enjoys a warm climate with an average temperature of 14 degrees in the winter and 22 in the summer and more than 300 days of sunshine a year.
The Mediterranean meets the Atlantic on the coast of Cadiz and this makes for some extreme weather conditions, the most well known of which is the Levante wind which is notoriously strong when it blows and, as legend has it, is capable of sending people insane. Cadiz itself is a fascinating and beautiful city with a rich history, as is nearby Jerez, the home of sherry.
The cultural heritage of Cadiz continues to thrive, the large population of gypsies in the area means that the art of flamenco is popular and the region is responsible for the famous Andalucian horse as well as for raising bulls used for bullfighting.
National parks cover half of the province, stretching from the coast to the mountains inland where there are trails of white Moorish villages and where ancient fortresses still surround villages perched on hilltops and where there is mile upon mile of untouched mountain wilderness.
