The most beautiful coastal towns in Spain

Lastres1
When we plan vacations or summer getaways, we always look for destinations with beaches where we can escape the high temperatures. However, if the only attraction of the destination is a question is the beach, you may end up getting tired in the end. And the ideal thing is that the place you choose to spend your holidays offers something more than sandy areas, no matter how beautiful they are.

Luckily, our coast is full of coastal towns that, in addition to being surrounded by beautiful beaches, have a special charm. Today we are going to tell you about some of the most beautiful in Spain . Would you like to join us?
