LA CASA AZUL

La Casa Azul unique beach house in Zahara de Los Atunes, perfectly situated on the beautiful Costa de la Luz. The “Coast of the Light” with it’s broad, uncrowded beaches, authentic fishing villages and historic white mountain villages typical for Spain’s most beautiful province: Andalusia. The beach house is 2 hours drive from Sevilla and 2,5 hours from Malaga.

Less than a 50 meters walking distance brings you to a clean and wide beach overlooking the coastline of Morocco. Swimming here is fun and safe for children as well. The spacious, well maintained and supervised swimming pool, open from June till September, is located just behind the villa and offers a welcome break on days when it’s too hot on the beach. There are plenty of good and affordable local restaurants in close vicinity to the beach home and in Zahara de Los Atunes itself. Afterward, you can enjoy a cocktail on the front patio of the villa enjoying the cool evening breeze and the sound of crickets or take a stroll to the beach for breathtaking sundown with a stunning sea view.

Ronda the spectacular mountain cliff, Jerez with its sherry Bodega’s and world-famous Spanish equestrian school, fantastic Sevilla with its cathedral and Moorish palaces, beautiful white village of Medina Sidonia, Roman temples of Bolonia, pirate and hippie town Tarifa with its whale watching adventures, historic city of Vejer de la Frontera: it’s all just a stone’s throw away from the peaceful tuna fishing village of Zahara de Los Atunes where your holiday home is located.

Shops: two small supermarkets and a bakery within five minutes walking distance during the season ( April – September ). Several small supermarkets in the village of Zahara de Los Atunes itself ( appr. 2 kilometers) and a large Lidl and Supermercado in Barbate, the closest town ( appr. 9 kilometers). The Lidl has everything for reasonable prices and accepts pin/credit cards. For a really large shopping experience, there are Carrefour’s in Cadiz and in Jerez.

The large swimmingpool is open from June till September ( you will find entry cards for the pool in the house). There is a free tennis court within 150 meters walking distance and in the complex, you can find a “Padel” court. Padel is the unusual Spanish cross between tennis and squash. Worth trying and a lot of fun!. In the shop ‘Gardens of Zahara” on the corner of the complex, you can rent bikes and make reservations for a Whale Watching adventure. This exciting boat tour starts from the exotic city of Tarifa ( a 35 kilometers drive from Zahara ) and is highly recommended for children as well as the boat will get you very close to schools of playful whales and dolphins crossing the Strait from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean seas.

If you’re a keen walker you’ll find the entrance to a marked track close to the lighthouse situated at the end of the next beach. This is the start of a beautiful track that follows the coastline and leads to the Roman ruins of Bolonia. Don’t forget to bring your camera as the views are spectacular.

If you like authentic markets or, even better, lively night markets, then Conil is the place for you. Don’t take the motorway route though but take the coastal one via Barbate and stop in the nature reserve just after this harbor village for a refreshment at the remains of what was once the largest pigeon house in the world. After you have visited the Bedouin tent in Canos de Mecca for a drink, make a stop in Trafalgar. On the road that leads to the lighthouse, you’ll find on your right hand “Las Dunes”, a tasteful pub built completely out of small rocks and wood. Worth investigating and a nice place to relax in the shade.

All in all, there is plenty to do and see in the area. Not only is your holiday home the perfect base from which to make day trips, it’s also the perfect place to hang out and relax!
