Spanish Coasts

Spain has almost 8,000 kilometres of coastline, divided into named stretches with very different characters. The Costa Brava in Catalonia is known for rocky coves, the Costa Dorada for wide sandy beaches, the Costa Blanca for sunshine and family resorts, the Costa del Sol for lively towns around Málaga and the Costa de Almería for wild, desert-like scenery. In this section you will find guides to each coast, starting with our overview of the best things to do on the Costa Blanca.
