PROVINCE OF CÁDIZ
Andalusia • Spain

La Costa de la Luz: A taste of the slow life. Embrace the warm, southern atmosphere; whether you prefer to catch some waves, or wander through picturesque, whitewashed villages, this is the perfect place to slow down and savor life's simple pleasures. Are you ready?

Immerse yourself in the richness of the south, dream up your next adventure, or simply indulge in photographs and stories around Andalusia’s Atlantic coastline.

It’s Only Water

My best discovery: It’s Only Water, a small studio owned by Coke, who rents premium longboards and offers water photography and longboard workshops. Stop for a coffee at the studio and have a look at all the dreamy fine art prints, shirts, bags and more. So worth it!

Conil de la Frontera

Vibrant and full of life, this underrated town in the province of Cádiz is worth a visit. It's like stepping into a movie scene, with the town's white houses coming alive in a soft orange glow as the sun sets. Explore the enchanting alleys decorated with colourful flowers and plants and treat yourself with delicious Andalusian tapas.

El Palmar

In search of waves, charming shops, cafes, or seaside eateries? Rent a bike or take a stroll along the stunning coastline from Conil to Playa El Palmar.

If you visit during spring, you'll be treated to a serene and colorful landscape, with stunning pink and yellow flowers blooming along the dunes next to the beach. Why not rent a board and catch some waves?

Los Caños de Meca

Bohemian beach bars, a breathtaking view and simply perfect waves for longboarders: this tiny surf village exudes a sense of creative spirit and community and embraces the tranquil rhythms of the Andalusian coastal life.

Tarifa

Where the Mediterranean dances with the Atlantic. Where untamed winds are born and kitesurfers push their limits. Tarifa, the southernmost point of continental Europe, has it all: wind and waves, a rich culture, incredible landscapes, and an eclectic energy!

Vejer de la Frontera

Nestled atop a sun-kissed hill, with its whitewashed buildings and narrow cobblestone streets, Vejer de la Frontera must be every photographer’s dream.

Cádiz

In Cádiz, ancient fortresses and majestic cathedrals stand proud alongside colourful alleys and lively plazas. But beyond its rich history, architecture and delicious seafood, the city also surprised us with ultra-smooth, skate-friendly streets and a skatepark overlooking the ocean. This is happiness!
