Los Caños de Meca offers a great combination of enchanting beaches, nature reserves, old buildings and lively nightlife.

A holiday in Los Caños de Meca takes you to an old hippie landmark on the coast near where the Battle of Trafalgar was fought. This small seaside village near the town of Barbate, in the province of Cádiz, is a very attractive tourist destination. Its curious name comes from the natural water spouts found in the surrounding cliffs.

Los Caños de Meca's beaches are long and wide, with ample space for both sports and sandcastle building. Here, the most popular activities – besides sunbathing and swimming – are surfing and horse riding. If your stay in the town coincides with the end of the day, watch the sun set over the Atlantic with the Tómbolo de Trafalgar as a spectacular backdrop.

Come to Los Caños de Meca and take the opportunity to visit the La Breña natural park and the Barbate marshes next to the village. This is an important spot for Spanish eco-tourism, with its 12,400 acres which are home to a wide range of ecosystems, as well as native flora and fauna. The village's cliff tops feature an amazing 300-year-old stalactite forest while, in the highest part of the rock formation, there is a well-conserved sixteenth century watchtower.

To the west of the village is the beautiful Tómbolo de Trafalgar, formed by a cape and a small isthmus. Here you can visit the lighthouse, as well as the remains of a Roman salting factory and an old Moorish settlement. This natural monument occupies an important place in Spain's history, as it overlooks the site of the famous Battle of Trafalgar which took place in 1805.

Los Caños de Meca holiday packages make it easy for you so you do not have to worry about anything and just concentrate on your own enjoyment. Don't wait any longer, come and get to know this enchanting spot.
