Popular Atmosphere
Located in the Costa de la Luz, Zahara de los Atunes, like its neighbors Barbate and Los Caños de Meca, used to be strategic enclaves of the salted fish, mainly the tuna. It is an industry that started in the sea with the complicated and millenary art of “almadraba”, a system of nets and cages to trap fish, which was already used by the Phoenicians.
Today this white town still has a special marine soul, even though it focuses more and more on tourism.
The visitors go there to enjoy the sand, mainly families with small children since this sea is very calm and the atmosphere is not pretentious, but popular.
