Spanish Holidays - Which Places Have The Best Beaches?

By Mark Walters


Spain is a beautiful country that experiences a great deal of tourism, and much of it is due to the beach towns and resorts that are found in this beautiful country. The climate in Spain is continually mild, which explains the country's popularity amongst those who arrive on holiday from northern European regions as well as other cooler climates around the world. Spain has some of the best beach towns and resorts anywhere, and they are the perfect places to relax.

On the coast of the Mediterranean Sea is the Salou municipality. Here you will find several beaches peppered with coves here and there. Because it enjoys a Mediterranean climate, Salou is great for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving all year long. Beaches aren't the only attractions in Salou, as it is where Port Aventura is found. This theme park and resort provides roller coasters and other rides to those looking for a thrill. Here you will also find Fiesta Aventura, a nightly party presenting fireworks, and parades. Salou is well-known for its promenade which borders the coast and provides relaxing sightseeing.

Almucar is another beach municipality in Spain, and its mild winters and lengthy summers give ample time for activities on any number of its many beaches. Puerta del Mar is Almucar's most popular beach because it is situated near to the shopping centers and social life. Scuba divers and snorkelers are fond of the coves in the nearby waters because of the dazzling sea life that occupies them. For an exotic touch, some of these coves can be reached only when traveling by boat. Vacationers to Almucar can find thrill rides, water slides, and hot tub experiences in Aqua Tropic, a local water park.

With 2.8 miles of beaches, Barcelona is one of Spain's most popular cities. Those beaches even caused National Geographic to name it the best beach town in the world. In 1992, the Summer Olympics came to Barcelona, and several buildings were demolished to accommodate them. This created even more beachfront in the city. Beach activities are fun, of course, but Barcelona has much more to it than that. Museums that reflect Spain's rich history and culture are open to tourists, as are various botanical, urban, and forest parks.

Spain's best beach towns maintain continuous success based on the climate and number of outdoor and shopping opportunities found in them. Clubs, water parks, and beaches are just a portion of the wonderful attractions found in Spanish beach towns. The beach towns and resorts are a can't miss holiday.
