Andalucia is divided into eight provinces of which five have a coastline and their own costas. The 233km Atlantic coastal Costa de la Luz is divided between the Huelva and Cadiz provinces. In the Mediterranean the 217km Costa del Sol is dominated by the Malaga province but to the west near Gibraltar part of the Costa is within the Cadiz province. The remaining costas are provincial. The 72km Costa Tropical belongs to Granada and the 150km Costa Almeria belongs to the Almeria province. There is also the British colony in Gibraltar. The Costa de la Luz extends from the Rio Guadiana that forms part of Spain's western border with Portugal to the Strait of Gibraltar. There are 27 harbours along this Atlantic coastline including harbours upstream along its navigable rivers. The Costa del Sol runs northeast from Gibraltar to Nerja and has 13 harbours. This Costa also used to cover the Granada province coast but that coastline was re-designated as the Costa Tropical. The Costa Tropical extends from Nerja to just west of Adra and has only two harbours. The Costa Almeria runs from Adra in the west to Cabo Reono (just southwest of Aguilas) and has nine harbours. The peninsular of Gibraltar is 4.6km long and 1.7km at its widest point and has two harbours.
All of these harbours are reviewed in a standard format that contains: a harbour diagram with key locations, photographs, distances to nearest harbours, harbour swell indicator and a general description. The first two chapters provide useful tourist information about Andalucia and advice on cruising this coastline. The last four chapters contain the specialised nautical language you may need. Available as a printed book or on CD as an Ebook. Book extracts are given below:
