Trips from Jerez
Rota: Castle of Luna, La Costilla beach and coastal pines
A historic town and an easy urban beach, with a quieter pinewood alternative.
Rota lets you walk from its old streets to La Costilla beach. Punta Candor and the pinewoods offer a different, more natural afternoon.
Costa Ballena is another holiday base in the area, but it is not beside the old town.
