Costa de la Luz (or "Coast of Light", in English) represents nowadays one of the most attractive spots in Spain for the Northern European market, whether as a holiday destination or as a target for property investments. Not in vain it is called the Coast of Light, for it is sunlight that bathes its voluptuous and unspoilt coastline, even in wintertime. It covers two main provinces in the Spanish region of Andalucia: 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 it's Spanish brother.

The coast faces the green blue Atlantic Ocean, offering some of the most gorgeous white sandy beaches, the clearest waters and the purest air of all Spain. Facing them, there are also lovely Mediterranean-style towns, each with different personalities and landscapes to be discovered. The weather is warm and sunny at all times in summer, and even in winter, when temperatures seldom drop below 10ºC, the sun keeps shinning incessantly. The bright and pleasant weather of Costa de la Luz seems to influence its people as well, since their charm and warm hospitality shines through their welcoming smiles.

Architecture and culture are also two of the many outstanding features of The Coast of Light. Influenced mainly by the Roman and Moorish, the historical heritage of this Southern Spanish corner is evidenced not only in its tiled squares, peaceful white churches and ancient castles; but also in the many festivities, religious and pagan, that constitute colourful and inviting rituals that you just can't miss. Costa de la Luz also offers a varied set of activities, for those who love nature and for the sporty ones in the family. Or both! You can sail, golf, cycle or just walk your way through the Coast, and also visit the many nature reserves in the area, framed by the most beautiful and exotic scenarios.

Due to the enormous growth that this area has experimented in the past few years, property investors have set a new target in Costa the la Luz, which is still largely untouched, and an important amount of inward investments in infrastructure and developments have been started. The properties available for sale on Costa de la Luz are still of a very reasonable price, but have seen a considerable increase in value in the last two years. This is now an exciting area for investing in Spanish property that should prove a sound return in the coming years. Specially since experts predict that big things are yet to happen in the Costa.

Due to the growth of tourism in Spain during the 60's, Lepe and its beach, La Antilla, began to detach as a touristic spot of interest. The proliferation of infrastructure developments in the 70's benefited the area, increasing the flow of tourists, mainly national and more concretely proceeding from the interior of Andalucia.

The windsurf is one of the most popular water sports due to the weather, so appropriated for the practise of this sport during the whole year.
