the resort of El Cotillo

El Cotillo is small and rustic with comparatively few tourist amenities (although there are several well-stocked supermarkets and, reputedly, thirteen restaurants).

The chief attraction is the wonderful beaches There are a series of sandy bays to the north of the village and the further towards the lighthouse you go, the quieter they become - like being on a desert island.

To the south, you will find further long stretches of sand backed by cliffs. Our accommodation in El Cotillo is within easy walking distance of the beaches (5 - 10 minutes). El Cotillo will appeal to those who simply want to chill-out. 

May be too quiet for some and, although not essential, car hire is recommended.
