Top Spanish beaches
We possibly take for granted the top spanish beaches we enjoy in all the main resorts. However if we just pause for one minute and reflect on the sheer quantity of fantastic playas in Spain it`s no wonder that the country is the top holiday destination for many europeans. The Spanish certainly appreciate their beaches and ensure that they are regulary cleaned and are supported by all the modern facilities that tourists now expect to enjoy. We have selected a number of these beaches and have added some personal experiences from each one.

There are some good reasons why Benidorm has been a favourite destination for so many holiday-makers over the last 30 years. One of the main ones is the Playa Levante, which has got to be one of the best beaches in Europe. Observation - despite the popularity for Brits and other foreigners, the main language you hear is Spanish! |

Hay algunas razones buenas por qué Benidorm ha sido un destino predilecto para tantos turistas sobre los últimos 30 años. Uno de los principal es el Playa Levante, que tiene que ser uno de las mejores playas en Europa.

Benidorm The Levante playa is so big that onlookers from the promontory in the Old Town can spend ages gazing on all the activities and sights in front of them. You do need to get a little nearer to see and appreciate some of the excellent sand sculptures on the beach. |

El playa de Levante es tan grande que espectadores del promontorio en el Pueblo Viejo pueden gastar las edades mirando en todas las actividades y vistas delante de ellos. Debe conseguir un poco más cercano para ver y apreciar parte de las excelentes esculturas de arena en la playa. |
Benidorm Levante at night is stunning. The local authority has ensured the beach is well illuminated to create this wonderful aura. Also the sand cleaner machines work well into the night to preserve the freshness of the beach for the following day. |

There are sand dunes and sand dunes, but the dunes in Maspalomas are just incredible. This mini wonder of the world separates the elegant Maspalomas resort of luxury hotels and villas from the more downmarket but popular resort of Playa del Ingles.The dunes are a natural protected area and habitat for a number of rare plant species some of which are unique to the Canaries. If you walk into the middle of these dunes you could imagine being in the deserts of Africa, so take care and plenty of water and hats!

Hay dunas y dunas, pero las dunas en Maspalomas son sólo increíbles. Esta maravilla mini del mundo separa la estación elegante de Maspalomas de hoteles y casas de campo de lujo de la estación más popular pero popular de Playa del inglés. Las dunas son un área y el hábitat protegidos naturales para varias especie rara de planta que algunos de los cuales es extraordinarios a los Canarios. ¡Si anda en el centro de estas dunas que podría imaginarse ser en los desiertos de Africa, así que toma cuidado y mucha agua y sombreros! |
Playa del Ingles, Gran Canaria This popular resort in Gran Canaria is aptly named because the beach is impressive. Unlike most of the beaches in the Canaries, this playa is of golden sand not the usual volcanic variety. This must be influenced by the adjacent sands of Maspalomas. Does anyone know if this is true? |

La manga has two sets of beaches, one on either side of the strip. However, the Mediterranean facing beach is by far more impressive. In fact, this is probably the longest stretch of continuous beach in Spain. At 22 km. long this must be a record. |

La manga del mar menor |
|
Just a few kilometres south out of Palma is the vast expanses of the playa c`an pastilla. The beach has a marvellous golden colour as you can see and is bordered by an equally impressive promenade. |

Not all special beaches are large ones. The cove beaches in Cala d`Or are all quite small but exceptionally friendly! The geography means they are all very sheltered, so good on windy days. |

On the carretera marines going out of the north side of Denia the beach is continuous soft sand for kilometres. This playa supports a large amount of holiday residences for good reason - it`s an excellent spot.

Torrevieja has at least five good beaches, but the pick of the bunch is the La Mata playa to the north of the town. It boasts at least 1km. of broad golden sand with oceans of space for beach activities of every kind. The bus from town only takes 15 minutes and costs 1.15 euros. |

The sand colour is not great in Puerto del Carmen because of the volcanic rock. However the main beach is an impressive 300m long and 100m deep - plenty of room for sunbeds and ball games. This beach is across the road from a great selection of restaurants. |

This beach is one of the largest on the Costa del Sol, yet in May it`s one of the most unoccupied. Actually it`s so empty that it is almost eerie! Does anyone know if it is full in August? |
 |
Si usted prefiere a pasar mas tiempo a las playas, coge un autobus al norte por diez minutos a San Juan Playa. Cuando mira la playa estara impresionado. Ella mide cerca tres kilometros de largo y un cien de ancho de arena magnifica y limpieza. Un otro consejo – no coge el tranvia, El viaje dura veinte minutos y la terminal esta todavia un caminar de veinte minutos de la playa! |
|
If you are lucky and visit Alicante in May, you will see the festival de cometas (kites). |
 |
|
Santander, Cantabria - Sardinero Playa The south of Spain does not have the monopoly on great beaches. The Sardinero playa in Santander is extremely popular and has a beautiful setting.

There are some good beaches in Nerja on the Costa del Sol and Burriana is certainly one of them. It serves the population of local apartments and hotels as well as discerning visitors.Sheltering between headlands it is always warm and inviting. There is the added benefit of Ayo's famous paella eatery on the adjacent promenade - not to be missed! |

Although a small town, Comillas has a super little beach with fantastic surrounding shoreline. Any visit to Cantabria must include a look at this. |
|
On the eastern coast, Playa d'en Bossa is one of the longest beaches and hosts the famous party on the beach Bora Bora. |
 |
|
|
The southern resorts of Menorca are the main tourist areas and the more popular towns include: Santo Tomas, Cala en Porter, Binibeca, Punta Prima and S`Algar. At 2.5 km long, Son Bou is the largest beach on the island. Walk just a few minutes from the parking and you will have the beach to yourself. |

This is a view looking south towards Salou, but northwards there is an identical attractive beach. This resort seems to have been kept a secret by the Spaniards, because you don`t see many foreigners on the paseo. |
