Costa de la Luz and surrounding region


The surrounding area If you ever tire of the charms of Vejer itself you'll find you are close to many other interesting places. Jerez, Seville, Medina Sidonia and Arcos de la Frontera are all within striking distance. As are Tarifa, Conil and El Palmar.

A great place to be any time of year - not just during Semaña Santa or the Feria de Abril. For sports enthusiasts there's wind and kite surfing down at Tarifa, and for the 'beach bum' there are two great beaches about 10 minutes drive at Conil and El Palmar.

Zahara de los Atunes - Costa de la Luz

Zahara de los Atunes is unique on the Costa de la Luz in that it has retained the atmosphere of its roots as a small fishing village. There are many execllent restaurants here selling the local catch of the day and in the summer months you'll find small bars - Chiringuitos - erected on its wonderful sandy beach were you can listen to local musicians or watch flamenco dancers into the wee hours.
