Costa Ballena has four kilometres of beaches bathed
by the Atlantic Ocean.
The development's 400 hectares are located in the province
of Cádiz, where the oldest and famous wine in
the world, sherry, is produced and where they raise
the famous Jerez horses from which the prized Spanish
breed descends.
The vineyards that dominate the landscape date from
Roman times, two thousand years ago. Costa Ballena is
also the cradle of the purest and richest Mediterranean
folklore, flamenco.
The varied gastronomy, abounding in popular recipes,
many of them influenced by the Morish inhabitants, links
up with present-day Mediterranean cuisine, in which
vegetables, fruit, cereals, olive oil, and fresh seafood
and game all find a place.
The cultural and architectural heritage combines with
values provided by progress and modernity to create
a unique, well-communicated area with three international
airports nearby (Jerez, Seville, and Gibraltar), a motorway
that links up the European networks via Seville and
Madrid, and a high-speed train terminal in Seville,
a city located less than an hour by road.
