Golf in Costa de la Luz

The Costa de la Luz (coast of lights) is the western part of the Andalucia coastline that faces out to the Atlantic. The sand is finer and a more golden colour than the neighbouring Costa del Sol. The typical beaches here are more expansive and probably backed by sand dunes and pine trees. This part of the coast has not seen the high-rise hotel development of other areas.

The temperatures are slightly milder and the often strong Atlantic winds and waves are favoured by wind surfers and surf boarders alike. This coast is often divided into two sections. Costa de la Luz (Huelva Province) which stretches from the Portuguese border to the Donana park and the River Guadalaquivir. Costa de la Luz (Cadiz) stretches from the River Guadalquivir to Tarifa at the mouth of the Mediterranean sea. To travel from one section to another requires a lengthy drive via the city of Sevilla.

Costa de la Luz comprises sun and sand; the rivers flow in channels before reaching the sea; water and earth combine in the swamps, estuaries and salt mines. Inland you will find varied landscapes of wild sierras, fertile countryside, pastures of fighting bulls, world- renowned vineyards and hidden villages where times passes slowly by. Spring brings with it an explosion of flowers, fiestas and processions; winter mild and sunny, attracts millions of birds to the area. There are several good golf courses already well established along this coast with many new additions just waiting to be played.
