COSTA DE LA LUZ

CADIZ

Cadiz is unique. This tiny provincial capital city is different from the other seven provincial capitals in Andalucia. Located on a peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic, it is a refreshing place with fine beaches and a fascinating Old Town. Its restaurants are second-to-none and Cadiz' status as a major port city affords it a special place in the history of Spain.

CADIZ -¡Que maravilla!

I’ve been to Cádiz city six times. Twice with my first wife Jeryl, once with a girlfriend, Maude, and once with Johannes (son of my second wife, Rita) and girlfriend Tiina. Then, a bit of a gap to 2020 when Rita and I spent two nights there – and caught Covid-19! We’ve just visited again with my brother Simon and his wife Marilyn, staying for one night.

BOLONIA and BAELO CLAUDIA

Bolonia is arguably the finest beach on the Costa de la Luz. As the site of Baelo Claudio, a brilliantly renovated Roman city, these are two compelling reasons to visit.

TARIFA

Where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, and where two continents and cultures collide.

ZAHARA DE LOS ATUNES, CAÑOS DE MECA, TRAFALGAR and BARBATE

I've been going to Zahara and Caños for years, both pre- and post-divorce. Trafalgar and Barbate less frequently.. All four are conveniently situated on the Costa de la Luz between Bolonia and Cadiz City.
