This corner of the Costa de la Luz does not have a notable history or architecture and it does not need them either. Its charm lies in the environment, with palm trees, dunes, endless beaches and the sound of the Atlantic Ocean permeating everything. Perhaps that is why it is the place that Eva González chose to disconnect with her family: this is Costa Ballena, the stress-free and car-free urbanization that was built for leisurely summer vacations.
