To find Zahara, you need to turn off the coast road (CN 340) at a little bar called Venta el Retin at km 56.
It is a windswept place with an interesting atmosphere. On a quiet day, it is like going back in time.
In the village itself there are the sadly neglected ruins of the Castillo de las Amadrabas built in the fifteenth century by the Dukes of Medina Sidonia for protection against pirates and later used by local fishermen to store their tuna fishing equipment.
