Islantilla in the spotlight

In the early 1990s, the municipalities of Lepe and Isla Cristina established the Islantilla Association to manage tourism. Work began on the necessary infrastructure and a leisure offering that had not existed in the area until then.

Discover the Huelva area from Islantilla

While most of the beaches in southern Spain are located on the east coast and directly on the Mediterranean Sea, the coast of Huelva is on the Atlantic Ocean and further west. It even runs all the way from near Cádiz to almost the Portuguese border. The coast of Huelva is part of the Costa de Luz, and you can count on daily sunshine and wide, white-sand beaches. And rest. Because the Costa de Huelva is much less crowded than the well-known beaches of Andalusia's east coast.
