What I love about Andalusia is that everyone knows it, and at the same time, there are still many unknown places. The coastal town of Barbate is one of those. Barbate’s highlight? Wow, that’s hard to choose. For me, it’s either the tuna temple or the cliffs of Barbate.

A cute white town on the coast, that’s Conil de la Frontera. Chilling on the beach, walking around town, and eating local specialties. The town is certainly not big, making it perfect for a day trip. Find out what to expect from and do in Conil de la Frontera.

Zahara de los Atunes in Spain is one of those coastal towns you do not know but can fall in love with instantly. And mainly because of the raw beaches. Miles of soft, golden sand, crystal clear blue water with a green beach entrance. No fancy fuss, just nature.

It’s really not more than a street with a few houses on top of a cliff. Los Caños de Meca is a hamlet but a mecca for windsurfers and wave surfers. And for people who just want to chill out. Because in Los Caños de Meca, you can let go of everything and do a lot of nothing. Love it!

Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Andalusia may not be an obvious choice for a visit. If you’ve never been to the region, you’ve probably never heard of it. But I think the city has plenty to offer for a short visit. There are more things to do in Sanlúcar de Barrameda than I can squeeze into a day. Sherry bodegas, Doñana nature park, and of course, the beach.

If you have crossed all the highlights of the Cádiz province off your list, it is time for the lesser-known places. Like El Puerto de Santa María. A lovely town for a detour and, how could it be otherwise, a visit to a sherry bodega. But there is more!
