Spain’s Costa de la Luz, or "Coast of Light," is one of the most beautiful spots in the Northern Europe, Located at the western part of the Andalucía coastline, the Costa de la Luz coast has a golden glow that outshines the neighboring Costa del Sol when the sunlight bathes her unspoiled coastline, even in wintertime. If you are looking to take a vacation or invest in properties in Spain, Costa de la Luz is the place to go.
Costa de la Luz includes two main Spanish provinces in the Andalucia region: Huelva and Cadiz. This area is also known as the "Spanish Algarve," due to its proximity to the Algarve in Portugal; in fact, only the flow of the river Guadiana separates this Portuguese region from its Spanish brother.

Costa Almeria
The Costa Almeria runs from Adra in the west all the way through to the extremity of Andalucia on the border with Murcia in the east. The Costa Almeria is a long stretch of coastline taking in the popular resort towns of Roquetas de Mar, Almeria (provincial capital city) Cabo de Gata up to Mojácar and Garrucha in the east. Unlike the Costa del Sol, the mountains fall down virtually to sea providing dramatic scenery. |

Costa tropical
The Costa Tropical, which runs from the popular resort town of Nerja in the west through La Herradura and the charming towns of Almuñecar and Salobreña. This stretch of coastline takes its name from the sub-tropical climate, which allows the cultivation of exotic fruits and crops such as avocadoes, mangoes, bananas and sugar cane. The coastline is stunningly beautiful and the area doesn't have the high-rise developments and frantic activity of Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Fuengirola to the west. |

Costa de la Luz
The Costa de la Luz is possibly the most unspoilt of all the southern Spanish coasts and has seen much less development and Spanish property sales to foreigners than its Costa del Sol cousin. Geographically, the coast runs from Gibraltar in the south up in a northwesterly direction to the Portuguese border. The coast faces the green blue Atlantic and has some of the most stunning white sandy beaches in the whole of Spain, at times you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the Caribbean. |
