The beaches of the Costa del Sol provide the ideal relaxation for those seeking sand and sun in Spain.

Its long sandy beaches entice visitors to stroll along the coast. It also has small bays, such as Maro Beach, where you can spend time alone and relax.
2. The White Towns of Andalucia
The White Villages float like a touch of white glaze over southern Andalusia. They tell the story of Spain’s great history and culture, with Arcos de la Frontera being the most spectacular attraction. This square abruptly ends with a 137-meter-high cliff. It provides a breathtaking view of the valley’s orange, olive, and almond groves.

Another typical tourist attraction in the city is this one. This roadway, which can be up to 1.2 kilometres long and is bordered by dense young trees, is frequently the longest in Barcelona.
