Compared to other coastal areas this is a largely unspoilt tourist destination, well at least compared to the other Costa's. There are four nature reserves in the area; these have helped to stem the tide of new developments. The Main tourist resorts on the Costa De La Luz are Ayamonte and Isla Cristina.
Ayamonte is a lovely old fishing town. The streets and squares are lined by quaint bars and restaurants, which lead down to an active and still working fishing harbour.
Isla Cristina, as the name would suggest, was once an island. Fishing is still the main source of income for the residents, although tourism is on the rise.
The main, and most developed, resort is Isla Canela. Isla Canela has a bit of a reputation as a glitzy resort, and it is this, 'place to be seen' tag, that has seen the development of the area explode.
