The Costa de la Luz is situated between Tarifa and Cadiz in the Atlantic province of Cadiz:
Here you will find white sandy beaches without the visits of massive tourism. (August apart.)
Along the beaches you will find the following places:
Tarifa:- a cosmopolitan town and a windsurfer's paradise, From the port of Tarifa one can take the hydrofoil to Tangers or take a trip to sightsee dolphins and whales.
Barbate: wedged between the sea and a natural park of Umbrella Pines. This is a fishing village having a tunafishing port and modern marina;
Caños de Meca, and Zahora, with their quiet, unspoilt beaches where you can take long walks, still in the lap of the charming, natural, pinewood park!
El Palmar beach is very popular with families, fishermen and surfers alike.
The beaches in summer offer the very popular beach bars which all compete in aesthetics and general appeal. Besides the usual fishing tecniques there are those who searh for octopus and shrimps among the rocks and cockles in the retreating tides.
 

Los Cortijos is in Zahora, a small unspoilt community, between Caños de Meca and El Palmar. (Conil)
We are aprox.10mins.walk to 2 very different but equally stunning beaches and aprox. a 10 min. beautiful drive from 3 very differing towns where one can sightsee,have a tapa with the locals and do the weekly shopping all in one. There are fresh produce markets in the mornings. There is the inland town of Vejer de la Frontera, a beautiful town with labyrinthian streets of white houses with beautiful patios of flowers and a typical Arab/Moorish atmosphere.This is perched high on a hill and commands impressive views both inland and out to Morocco. The other towns are Conil going north up the coast and Barbate to the south.
Los Cortijos is a place with it´s own individual character : a special place for special people, at walking distance from the beaches of Zahora and various bars and restaurants
The attraction of Los Cortijos (farmhouses) is the arrangement of rustic houses and apartments (all having their own individual character and style) which all share the large fresh, green garden where you can relax under the palm trees. Many of the cortijos have there own allocated private area too. There is no special luxury, just nicely and simply decorated with taste, based on the idea that the people are the centre of Los Cortijos.
Expect a real break from your daily routine and way of life. Spain is different, Zahora is still unspoilt and Los Cortijos will take you back to a simpler, more poetic lifestyle. Enjoy your break.

Inside there is a salon/ bedroom , a kitchen and a bathroom with shower.

Leila says: "A lovely little finca, set in rural Spain, surrounded by gorgeous gardens and a nice little pond. Hosts were fantastic - really helpful and did all they could to make our stay really great. Really different to any place we've ever stayed before - not the average tourist accomodation - unique and memorable - would definately return."
