ZAHARA DE LOS ATUNES
Zahara de los Atunes is a small fishing village on the Costa de la Luz, 30km north of Tarifa on the Atlantic coast. Set in the middle of nothing else but a broad 12km stretch of unspoilt sandy beach, it gives off a quiet vibe that is both unsettling and stunning.Zahara is a windswept place with a very interesting atmosphere. On a quiet day, it is like going back in time. A remnant of its past is the crumbling old Almadraba built in the 15th century by the Dukes of Medina Sidonia as a protection against pirates still sits in the village centre, and was once used as a depot and refuge for local tuna fishermen.
Today, however, due to its proximity to the mountains and countryside, Zahara is fast transforming into an almost fashionable summer resort, offering the sun, sea, wind, and a vibrant nightlife to its visitors. A multitude of bars and restaurants serving typical regional dishes have sprung in this area. Every summer thousands of people from every corner of Spain and Europe come here to sample the fine cuisine, bask in the warmth of the sun and relax in the golden sand and cool off in the crystalline water.
