Your accommodation
The superb Hotel Barcelo Punta Umbria, built in old Andalucian style, is situated by the beach, just a short drive from the centre of Punta Umbria. Set on a peninsula with the river and estuary on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, the resort has spectacular long, white sandy beaches and is backed by pine forests. The town has a small harbour and a good selection of shops, making it the perfect place for a leisurely stroll in the warm Andalucian sunshine.
