THE Andalucian coast covers 1,100 kilometers of coastline, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic ocean, home to some of the best beaches in Spain.
And Malaga’s Costa del Sol, with 150 kilometres of coastline between the mountains and the sea can now boast to having five of the best beaches in Andalucia.
The prestigious National Geographic magazine has recently listed the best beaches in Andalucia, five of which can be found on Malaga’s coastline, with shores lapped by the Mediterranean Sea.
The list has been devised taking into consideration the beaches ‘easy access’, ‘crystal clear waters’ and the sands’ ‘lightness and color.’
The five beaches that have made the cut in Malaga are:
- COSTA DE MARO, NERJA (MALAGA)
- CALAHONDA BEACH, NERJA (MALAGA)
- BEACH OF LA CALETA (MALAGA)
