La Barrosa is a popular Spanish holiday resort located in the Cadiz province of the Costa de la Luz, Spain. This is a beach resort with a chilled-out atmosphere in the Winter and a great energy in the Summer. The resort is situated near to the southern-most tip of Spain facing the Atlantic Ocean so the lovely breeze in the Summer time takes the edge of the heat. The resort has strict building regulations like the rest of the Costa de la Luz coast-line and there are no buildings above 3 storeys. On the main street and the beach front at La Barrosa are many restaurants and bars.
You can even choose to spoil yourself at the Arab Baths in the Tartessus Centre.
For bird watching enthusiasts there is the beautiful salt marshes (Salines de Chiclana) at Sancti Petri where you can see many different species, including flamingos, from purpose built viewing stations and you can also take a ferry to the protected habitat of Donana National Park.
