Spain - Andalusia, San Luis de Sabinillas

San Luis de Sabinillas was originally a fishing village, developing over the past hundred years. As in almost all Spanish fishing villages not much importance was attached to aesthetics and architecture and the old town is a jumble of structures.

Like most places along the Costa del Sol the village has grown rapidly over the last decade and lives more from tourism than from fishing. Sabinillas has a relatively authentic feel and has probably one of the few boulevards and beaches not spoiled by huge and ugly buildings.
