Costa de la Luz Golf Holidays

Like a lot of savvy golfers, we occasionally like to travel to Spain via Portugal these days. It's only a forty minute drive from Faro airport to the bridge at Ayamonte and when we cross it we're in Spain. We can hear you say, why on earth would anyone ignore the popular Algarve golf resorts when they are so close?

Well, for starters, you can make your money go a lot further on the Costa de la Luz. There are some top quality hotels at very reasonable rates and in our opinion the golf courses are as good as the Algarve champions. What's more, they have 20% lower green fee rates.

The Costa de la Luz Coast is divided into two sections:-

Costa de la Luz (Huelva Province) which stretches from the Portuguese border to the Donana Park, and the River Guadalquivir.

Costa de la Luz (Cadiz Province) stretches from the River Guadalquivir to Tarifa at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Huelva province contains beautiful golden sands, and small seaside towns devoted to national tourism. Visit the marina and eroded sandstone cliffs at Mazagon and the golden beaches of Matalascanas which is also an entry point for tours of Donana Park.

From north to south this is an interesting section of the coastline. Sanlucar de Barrameda with its golden sands overlooking the River Guadalquivir and Donana National Park. Further south, around the small villages of Chipiona and Rota we find fine beaches. The town El Puerto de Santa Maria is famous for its restaurants serving succulent king prawns washed down with chilled Manzanilla wine.
The historic walled city of Cadiz is built on a Peninsular that jutts into the bay of Cadiz. South of the golf at Sancti Petri we find a ragged coastline dominated by coves and cliffs, often backed by pine forests.
