Club de Golf - Costa Ballena

 
 
 

 

Costa Ballena (Playa Ballena) is set between Rota and Chipiona, only 8 km from Doñana and one hour from Seville, Playa Ballena is right in the heart of the costa de la luz Andulucia. Costa Ballena hosts some of the most beautiful stretches of beach in Europe and it has an average of 300 days of sunshine a year.  This beautiful area like so many on the costa de la luz has so much indigenous vegetation, rolling dunes, lush golf courses, warm seas and fresh water lakes all coexist in perfect harmony with the trappings of modern life. Costa Ballena boasts four international airports in close proximity (Jerez, Seville, Málaga, Gibraltar); a motorway connecting with the European networks through Seville and Madrid, and a high-speed train with a terminal in El Puerto de Santa Maria.

Costa Ballena Resort is a purpose built resort and has been designed with the preservation of the surrounding environment. Open spaces and landscaped zones already take up more than 62 percent of the surface of Costa Ballena, with more than 45,000 trees and shrubs planted throughout its territory. The decision to blend its architecture with the already pleasant surroundings is one of the strongest features of this development, like all buildings on the Costa de la luz the height never exceeds three floors unlike the monstrosities on the costa del sol. A minimum habitual area of 30 square meters per resident and all attempts made to optimise the relationship between residential spaces and natural, leisure and sports areas.

The developers have paid special attention to providing future residents with the best facilities, whilst maintaining their environmentally friendly approach. Special pnuematic rubbish disposal systems eliminate the need for containers; water purifiers provide water for irrigated land, quality drinking water, artificial lakes and a whole sea for fishing, the beach, sailing and much more. Natural Gas is in all the houses, residual water purifiers, security facilities and active monitoring, sanitary systems and emergency medical services as well as a plentiful supply of parks, avenues, gardens and a large area of trees all make Playa Ballena a perfect living environment. Large public parks with lakes and shady walkways along with white sandy beaches a perfect holiday spot.

If you are looking for a purpose built resort away from the hustle bustle of the Spanish resorts and towns then the Costa Ballena (Playa Ballena) is most definitely the place for you

Festivals
The Andalucians are at their best when there is a fiesta and for nearly every day of the year there will be a festival happening somewhere in the region. From large cities to small villages, they all have their own special festivals, celebrations and religious events that last throughout the day and night.
Four of the biggest festivals that are not to be missed are:
Carnival: This is a chance to party before Lent. Everyone wears fancy dress and there are fabulous street parades and music. The biggest and most outrageous carnival is in Cadiz.
Semana Santa (Easter): The re-enactment of The Passion with emotive processions taking place across Spain. One of the biggest and the most famous in the world is in Sevilla, where thousands of people flock to this moving event.
Sevilla Spring Fair: For one week the people of Sevilla throw an enormous party to welcome in springtime. The bank of the river is covered with thousands of casetas (marquees) that reverberate with the sounds of flamenco singing and dancing.
Feria del Caballo: The city of Jerez goes horse crazy in May as it plays host to one of the most impressive equestrian events in Europe

  The Costa de la Luz (also known as the Coast of Light) is in the area of Andalucia, southern Spain left unspoilt by mass tourism.  It is away from the hustle and bustle of the Costa del Sol and the locals are all very welcoming.  The whole of the Costa de la Luz is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual developments associated with Spain.  It has been developed on a more human scale than the Costa del Sol and local towns and resorts retain their Spanish culture and character.
The beaches of the are of fine golden and white sands and are probably the best in Spain.  Deep and wide, stretching for miles they don't suffer the high rise development of so many tourist resorts. They are fantastic if you want a relaxing holiday as you will always find a peaceful spot.
