There are beaches, and beautiful beaches!

Many Mediteranean beaches have artificially dredged sand. Those without this luxury can have more stones and shingle. The best beaches are on the Atlantic coast about an hour from my place. This rock is at Atlantera, and the long sandy beach stretches to Zahara del Tunes. However, there is more wind on the Atlantic coast! The nearby town of Tarifa capitalises on it boasting that it is the 'windsurfing capital of the world! There are kite surfing schools too!

For those who want to spend more than an afternoon in this area, accomodation of all sorts is available; hotels, hostels and camp grounds with good facilities. However, many places are only open in the 'season', not year round. Other interesting places to visit nearby include wonderful Roman ruins - Baleo Claudia. More about that later!
