There are only three El Cotillo hotels as, fortunately, it has not developed into that kind of resort – so far anyway.

As El Roque is only 1km/10 minutes easy walk into El Cotillo village, and the beaches, it is an ideal place for a family holiday for anyone wanting a villa and a private swimming pool. There are…
Although I had heard of the Labyrinth just outside El Cotillo before, incredibly after 12 years or more of visiting (and living in) El Cotillo I had never been to it. A few weeks ago I went with a friend who knew where it was. It was an overcast and windy day, but that didn’t…

Perhaps one day they will admit that you cannot predict the unpredictable. For those that believe such things here is an up to date forecast for the El Cotillo…
El Cotillo shops are good but you certainly couldn’t describe it as a shopper’s paradise. It does have shops that sell most things needed on a day-to-day basis.
