Overview: The purpose built resort of Costa Ballena is conveniently located about an hour away from Seville, between Rota and Chipiona in the centre of the Costa de la Luz. Surrounded by fresh water lakes and pine-covered hills, the resort was designed with the environment in mind and one will not find the typical high-rise hotel blocks common to many beach resorts. In fact, the resort has been hailed as a one of a kind in Europe, environmentally friendly while still offering a range of exciting activities and amenities. A rather romantic story is attached to the town's name. In ancient times, a large whale (ballena in Spanish) was seeking a sanctuary, a place of paradise to end its years, and after much wandering, it found a spot near the coast of Cadiz; Costa Ballena. The town itself comes pretty close to paradise and visitors can enjoy beautiful surrounds dotted with lakes, orchards and parks, uninterrupted stretches of beach, and activities such as horse riding, bowling, golfing and windsurfing. Visitors can also explore neighbouring areas and soak up some traditional Spanish culture, visiting sherry-producing bodegas, whitewashed villages or catching a spectacular Andalusian horse show.
