Beaches by Lola

Over 4,000 kilometres long, the Spanish seaboard has a rather singular coastline, in that it is washed by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea (on its eastern and south-eastern flanks), the Bay of Biscay (to the north) and the Atlantic Ocean (along the west and south). With more than three hundred days of sunshine per year and a mild climate, average temperatures being in the order of 18° C - 30° C (64° F - 86° F), its sunlit beaches receive millions of tourists from all over the world each year.

The Mediterranean, the legendary "mare nostrum", has sculpted a landscape of great character along the Costa Brava, where a steeply rising shoreline is indented with superbly scenic coves and lovely beaches.

Southwards, along stretches of coast eloquently dubbed Costa Daurada (Golden), Costa del Azahar (Orange Blossom), Costa de Valencia, Costa Blanca (White) or Costa Cálida (Warm), it is a calm and peaceful sea that laps against beaches of golden sands, well served by a series of nearby cities and holiday resorts of renown.

In Andalusia, the Costa de Almería, Costa Tropical and Costa del Sol are another three favourite destinations for tourists in search of sea and sun. Marbella, the undisputed holiday capital of the Malaga coast, similarly receive a spectacular influx of visitors, drawn by the local beaches, leisure and entertainment facilities, shops and boutiques, and the presence of world-famous personalities.

The Strait of Gibraltar, with the African coast visible through the haze on the opposite shore, links the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean. Andalusia’s Atlantic coast is lent real personality by the presence of Cadiz and Huelva, with the so-called Costa de la Luz (Light) stretching along as far as Ayamonte on the Portuguese border.
Way up in Spain’s north-eastern corner, it is this same Atlantic that batters the coast of Galicia, carving a spectacular landscape of deeply incised shores, small beaches and fjord-like inlets (rías), where the sea flows deep inland amidst scenery that is truly exquisite. The entire Galician coast, with an altogether wetter, less torrid climate, is a much sought-after summer holiday spot.
