Costa Ballena information

Costa Ballena is a strip of land four kilometres long by one kilometre wide, with almost four kilometres of beaches bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, warm and noble at these latitudes. The development's 400 hectares are located at the heart of the purest Andalusia, in the province of Cádiz, at the southernmost tip of Spain, where the oldest and famous wine in the world, sherry, is produced and where they raise the famous Jerez horses from which the prized Spanish breed descends. The vineyards that dominate the landscape date from Roman times, two thousand years ago. This land is also the cradle of the purest and richest Mediterranean folklore, flamenco, the purity and vigour of which are legendary in some of the villages in the area. The extremely varied, imaginative gastronomy, abounding in popular recipes, many of them influenced by the former Morish inhabitants, links up with present-day Mediterranean cuisine, in which vegetables, fruit, cereals, olive oil, and fresh seafood and game all find a place.

The prolific cultural and architectural heritage combines with values provided by progress and modernity to create a unique, well-communicated area with three international airports nearby (Jerez, Seville, and Gibraltar), a motorway that links up the European networks via Seville and Madrid, and a high-speed train terminal in Seville, a city of universally acknowledged beauty and located less than an hour by road.
