Summary

From Cadiz along the Atlantic coast, the Costa de la Luz is the unspoilt and underdeveloped jewel of Andalucia: fine beaches, flower-strewn meadows, rolling farmland, mountains and small, intimate villages. This new guide, the first in our series to investigate this beautiful area, takes you away from the crowds in true Footprint style, to find the authentic heart of Andalucia. Including national parks, Moroccan-influenced Tarifa, beautiful Moorish architecture and opportunities for watersports, including surfing and windsurfing along the Atlantic coast. Great seafood, tasty tapas and a chance to daytrip to Morocco.
