Discover the 5 most beautiful playas in Spain!

Sun-drenched Spain is of course known for three things: sun, sea and beach! If you love beach holidays, you've come to the right place, but if you enjoy long walks on the beach and rocks, Spain is also the perfect country for you. Put on the sunglasses and grab the sangría, because after reading this article, you can pack your motorhome and head straight for Spain's most beautiful playas!

Tossa de Mar

In the north of Spain, about 95 kilometres away from Barcelona, lies the picturesque town of Tossa de Mar. This seaside resort is popular among tourists yet has always maintained its Spanish character. Therefore, you won't encounter crowds of young people. Make sure to visit the famous Vila Vella, the medieval part of town where, hidden behind the large city wall, there are also some restaurants and cafés. On the nearly 400-metre-long beach, put down your towel on one of the sunbeds, or hop on a boat to explore the surrounding coves and take a dip in the turquoise waters. 

Near Tossa de Mar, stay overnight at motorhome stopovers Área de Tordera, Area de Sils or Caldes de Malavella.

Cala Montjoi

Also located on the Costa Brava is Cala Montjoi. A 'cala' is a small bay or coastal inlet and Cala Montjoi lives up to its name: in a bay between the rocks, you can enjoy the sun, the sea and Spanish life on this beautiful beach. Are you looking for peace and quiet? Then you should definitely come here, because the bay is still relatively undiscovered by tourists and therefore a very nice place to spend an afternoon at the beach. Surrounded by nature, you will find complete relaxation here - after all, it is still a holiday! 

Spend the night near Cala Montjoi at Autocaravaning Park Roses or Parking SABA.

Playa del Postiguet

At the foot of Monte Benacantil, which towers above the city of Alicante, lies Playa del Postiguet. In the summer months, this beach can be crowded due to its location, but if you like to combine an afternoon sunbathing on the beach with a visit to a bigger city, this is the perfect destination for you! Stroll along the promenade, settle down at one of the terraces and taste Spanish cuisine, then take a refreshing dip in the water. Would you like to soak up some culture too? If you cross the main road, you can walk straight into bustling Alicante! 

In the vicinity of Alicante, you can spend the night at motorhome stopovers Playa de Saladares, Agua Amarga Playa or Area Natur Playa Muchavista.

Playa de Calahonda

In the south of Spain lies vibrant Calahonda, on the Costa del Sol. There is certainly no shortage of sun here! The Playa de Calahonda is wonderfully quiet and great for relaxing, but what makes this beach especially beautiful is its surroundings. Surrounded by greenery and located at the foot of the Sierra de las Nieves National Park, there are plenty of hiking possibilities in the area. Highly recommended is the climb to the chapel Ermita del Rocío, where you will be rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding area! 

Park your motorhome in the Calahonda area at motorhome stopovers Cabopino, Cala de Mijas or Castillo Sohail.

Playa de Gulpiyuri

The most special beach from this list is Playa de Gulpiyuri. Located in northern Spain, in the region of Asturias, this small beach is surrounded by rocks, so it is not directly by the sea. An underground river carries crystal-clear sea water to the beach, where it emerges through a cave. Playa de Gulpiyuri is a popular tourist attraction, so it is recommended to visit the beach early in the morning. You won't regret it, as this natural phenomenon is a real feast for the eyes! 

Close to Playa de Gulpiyuri, you can spend the night at motorhome stopovers La Talá or Área de Autocaravanas Ribadesella.
