Spain Beaches - Andalucia - Costa de la Luz:
On the Costa de la Luz you can laze on some of the biggest sandy beaches in Europe. They are long, with fine golden sand and usually backed by sand dunes and pine forests. This largely unspoilt area of Andalucia is relatively undiscovered and has been one of the best kept secrets of holidaymakers from Seville and Huelva. However it is becoming popular with tourists from other parts of Spain and some international holidaymakers seeking a relaxing Spanish beach holiday. more info

Although not as famous as the neighbouring Costa del Sol beaches to the west, the Costa Tropical of Granada is a particularly picturesque, largely unspoilt coastal area of Andalucia where it is easy to escape from the crowds and enjoy a relaxing beach holiday. The mountains run right down to the sea and the coastline is made up of a series of coves and promontories. more info
