FAQs
1. Which part of Spain has the best beaches?
It actually depends! Spain has a variety of landscapes, each offering their unique beauty as we’ve shared above.
2. What are the best beach resorts in Spain?
W Hotel in Barcelona is a popular choice with its distinct sail-shaped building, but heads up: it’s often fully booked. Iberostar and Barceló are also noteworthy resort-chains with locations across Spain.
3. What is the nicest coastal town in Spain?
Aside from the ones in our list, we recommend you also check out Valencia, Gijón, Alicante, Málaga, and Cádiz.
4. Are the beaches nicer in Portugal or Spain?
Spain offers a more leisurely experience with areas developed specifically for tourists, vast coastlines, and warm weather from the Mediterranean Sea and the Canary Islands. Meanwhile, Portugal’s landscape is lined with cliffs, cold waves from the Atlantic, and less-commercialized areas giving a more lowkey, authentic feel compared to Spain.
