The 7 Most Amazing Beaches You've Ever Seen... And They're All In Spain
There is no doubt that the beach is the preferred destination for many to spend their holidays or for a weekend getaway. Spain is a country that has the privilege of having more than 8,000km of coastline to satisfy even the most demanding visitors. We invite you to get to know the 7 most amazing beaches you have ever seen, all of which are located along the Spanish coast.
Gulpiyuri Beach, Asturias
The Asturian coast gives us the smallest beach in the world. Situated between Llanes and Ribadesella, the beach of Gulpiyuri does not reach 50 meters in length. Declared Natural Monument, there is no doubt that this is a unique beach where you can live unforgettable experiences.
Gulpiyuri is what is known as a dolina, an inland beach which the sea water reaches through a tunnel formed between two rocks. When you walk on these rocks, you will hear the famous Asturian “buffoons”, which we are not going to tell you what they are, so you can find out for yourself.
Las Catedrales Beach, Galicia
Considered the best in the whole country by many, Las Catedrales beach usually tops the list when it comes to spectacular and amazing beaches in Spain. You find it in the province of Lugo, Galicia, between Foz and Ribadeo.
A visit to las Catedrales will not leave you indifferent to all that the marvels that nature has to offer, like the way it has been sculpting a set of cliffs for centuries, forming vaults and arches that give the feeling of looking at a temple built by Mother Earth herself.
If you have already decided to visit the place, don’t forget to book in advance, as this is a first class destination with a large influx of tourists, who also come to enjoy many attractions in the vicinity.
Rodas Beach, Galicia
Many people compare Rodas beach with the best beaches in the Caribbean. And it is no wonder, since you can find emerald blue waters and white sands typical of the tropic in this destination located in the Cíes Islands, in Galicia.
Don’t miss the opportunity to visit this beach, which is always on the podium of the best in the world. To do so, you only have to board one of the boats that depart from Vigo and Cangas. If you go during low season you will be able to have the beach for yourself since very few people visit it at that time of the year.
Cala Treumal, Girona
There is nothing better to disconnect than a quiet destination where you have all the services at hand without having to move a lot.
That and more is what the small beach of Cala Treumal, which is about 4 kilometers from the center of Blanes, in Girona, has to offer.
To talk about this attractive place we don’t know whether to start with its crystalline waters, its golden sands or the pleasant natural environment of its surroundings. To decide which is best, you will have to visit and live the camping experience yourself.
Cala Es Talaier, Menorca
Located south of Ciudadela, in Menorca, Talaier is one of the smallest coves in the region. Visiting this unspoilt beach surrounded by pine trees is an excellent option for those looking for a quiet place free of tourist boats in which to camp.
As it is a somewhat hidden place, it will be necessary to park in Cala Turqueta or Son Saura, and walk from any of these places near Es Talaier.
Sa Calobra, Mallorca
When we talk about Sa Calobra, in Mallorca, we are referring to the Cala de Sa Calobra, a tiny beach with small pebbles and sand; and the Torrent de Pareis, a beach about 100 meters long, which is undoubtedly the great attraction of the place, which is nestled in the Sierra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Moreover, if you travel by car you will be able to enjoy one of the best landscapes in the world. It is also valid to reach Sa Calobra by sea, for which we recommend you get all the information available on the network so you know how to get from the island or other ports in the country.
Playa del Inglés, Canary Islands
If Playa del Inglés is your first visit to a Canarian beach, you may be surprised by its dark sand of volcanic origin, nestled in a rustic and isolated spot, but easily accessible by car through a track in the area of the beach.
You can find it southwest of Valle Gran Rey of the island of La Gomera, and it is considered the best place in the island by both locals and visitors, especially by members of alternative movements. This makes it a beach with a remarkably liberal atmosphere.
