Andalusia - Costa de la Luz
La Antilla - Islantilla
The Costa de la Luz along Spain's southwestern Atlantic coast is
well known for generally still unspoiled, fine sand beaches, pleasantly
mild winters, summer temperatures moderated by sea breezes, and abundant
sunshine 300 days a year and more.
Our house is situated
in the Pinares de Lepe bungalow community, on a 700 sq.m lot that has
stands of pine and eucalyptus trees, palms and Mediterranean shrubs.
