Costa de la Luz: introduction and rental properties
The province of Cadiz is the Spain of fighting bulls and flamenco, of ferias and finos, and fine, simple, food (olive oil, ham, tuna, partridge, oranges, prickly pears, sea urchins... it is a long and varied list!) The following pages contain information on a selection of rental properties in Roche, Conil-de-la-Frontera, and Vejer-de-la-Frontera, a magic triangle where authentic rural Spain blends with a stretch of coast still relatively untouched by developers. You will also find lots of information on the numerous activities, sights, and events the wonderful province of Cadiz has to offer.
It is also Spanish mainland's southernmost province, covering 7,436km2, approximately 30% of which is protected National Park. It is home to what is arguably Europe's oldest city (Cádiz), to the continent’s largest wildlife reserve (the Coto Doñana), and Spain's wettest mountain range (the Sierra de Grazalema). The province's 260 kilometres of coast includes some of the peninsula's longest and most unspoilt beaches, which run down the Costa de la Luz to Tarifa, from where it is just a short hop to Tangiers and all the wonders of Morocco beyond. Tarifa marks the start of the Strait of Gibraltar, a key location on the migratory map for a whole variety of birds as well as whales, and the meeting point not only for continents and seas, but also vegetation and climate. Here you will find green rolling hills (more akin to Ireland or Wales) divided by giant cactus hedges, one of the world’s most important cork forests, and a microclimate within the Alcornocales national park regarded as the last Mediterranean jungle. Warm, humid Atlantic winds keep average winter temperatures along the Costa de la Luz in the mid-teens and ensure an explosion of colour in the spring months as wild flowers transform the landscape; while summer temperatures are generally cooler than on the Mediterranean (averaging 25 degrees Celsius in July and August).
