These are the 25 best beaches in Spain – according to National Geographic

NATIONAL Geographic has named its best 25 beaches to be found in Spain in its annual survey.

With close to 8,000 kilometres of coastline bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Cantabrian Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, there are plenty options to go at with the publication highlighting the variety of beaches.

It says: “There are beaches to watch sunsets, white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters that look like something out of a postcard, virgin coves, stretches of sand protected due to their biodiversity, and beaches with optimal conditions for surfing.”
