We are really lucky because we are in Zahora, an idyllic and still wild environment.
zahora:Crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches and magical sunsets
At Buena Onda Zahora you will be a stone's throw from the lighthouse of Trafalgar and in the heart of the Costa de la Luz.
Buena Onda Zahora is very close to the emblematic Trafalgar Lighthouse in the heart of the Costa de la Luz in Cadiz. We can say that we enjoy very good weather all year round, moderated by our proximity to the ocean, in summer not so hot and in summer not so cold. Just a few minutes from our location you will find kilometres of paradisiacal beaches stretching on both sides, offering diversity for all tastes.
Zahora beach is just a few minutes a walk and is almost empty in winter, but in summer it comes alive with music and dancing, different with each bar along the beach, although luckily there is always space for those who prefer to be away from the crowds.
Zahora is a small rural villageand has a few good restaurants open in high season. Our favourite time of the day though is a stroll along the beach at sunrise because you feel like you are the only inhabitant of the village at that very moment.
The bars close in Zahora for the winter and nature returns to the beach. At this time of year you can enjoy long walks along the beach almost all to yourself to Ohana or Las Dunas, the only bars open all year round. From there you can watch kite or surf sessions while having a drink at the foot of the dunes.
Hiking enthusiasts will find their place in La Breña, with viewpoints to Los Caños and the lighthouse, or a coastal path with views of Zahara de los Atunes and Africa.
Very close to Zahora we findVejer de la Frontera a compulsory stop, it is part of the white villages and it is situated on the top of a hill, a network of white houses and narrow streets where you want to get lost and discover Andalusian patiosfull of flowers or ecological shops and bars where you can find vegetarian or vegan food.
El Palmar is probably the area with the most atmosphere, a bustling mix of people on the beach, bars, restaurants and plenty of surf schools. It's an ideal place to learn to surf, as the beach is sandy and gradually sloping. If you're lucky, in winter you can find good waves, even tubes when the swell is at its peak. It's only a few minutes' drive away and is great for surfing regardless of level, having a drink and a nice meal while enjoying live music.
Los Caños of Meca the well-known "hippie" village is just a few kilometres from Buena Onda Zahora. There, you can enjoy a relaxed and lively atmosphere at sunset. Its coves have the clearest waters in the area, are very sheltered and are perfect for those days when the wind blows stronger. Paddle surfing in its waters is a great way to explore. Los Caños stretches along the coast, below the pine forest and there are bars and restaurants and craft markets that are only open in high season. La Jaima is a bar located on the cliff above the beach and is a must if you want to enjoy the best sunsets in Cádiz with a decent cocktail menu in a space carefully decorated in the purest Andalusian style.
