Discover more than 10 best European Beaches: 'Cabo de Gata - Nijar' - an unspoilt secret paradise in Southern Spain
Congratulations! You are about to discover the best European beaches – an almost totally unspoilt paradise: You may spent days touring and visiting all corners of this Natural Park, discovering moonlike landscapes, lost filming locations, unspoilt coves and beaches of fine sand and crystal clear waters, which have nothing to envy to those of the Carribean. It is truely one of the best places to visit in Europe.
Welcome to The Natural Park of Cabo de Gata – Nijar (Almeria) :
The Natural Park of Cabo de Gata offers visitors marvellous beaches with a volcanic, moonlike environment. The sea-bed is hiding an ecosystem, unique in Europe, consisting in wide meadows of Posidonia, these also act as natural measurements for water quality. In these clear and transparent waters there live sponges, snails, sea stars, urchins, anemones, corals and jellyfishes as well as the halibut, etch and sea bream. A great diversity of flora and fauna marina attract diver enthusiasts from all over Europe. The good news is that there is no need to be a professional diver to enjoy these beautiful sea-beds. We dive and snorkel there frequently. I recommend you a water proofed camera.
Before you prepare your luggage, take a ‘tinto de verano’, relax and enjoy your tour from the armchair:
More than 10 Best European Beaches, some of them belong to the list of 'unofficial' naturist beaches in Spain:
But actually you came here to discover Europe’s best beaches, didn’t you? Lets explore them: There is the ‘Los Genoveses Beach’, where you keep going and going quite a while until the water finally covers you. David Lean, director of the movie ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ (1962) decided to use this beach as the backdrop for the attack on the train scene. Quite close from here, just behind the rocks and dunes, you will be surprised by the
Monsul Beach
, with its fine, black sand. Huh! You found another lost filming location! Congratulations. This impressive beach was used by Steven Spielberg as backdrop in Indiana Jones and it is probably the best beach in Spain. Both beaches are very close to the former fishing village San José. Another great and beautiful beach is the ‘El Playazo Beach’ near Rodalquilar village. But what about those hidden coves? Some of them can only be reached on foot. I recommend you to visit: Cala San Pedro, accessible by boat or following a trail along the mountains. Other hidden coves you mustn’t miss are: Cala de Enmedio, Cala Rajá, Cala del Plomo, Cala Higuera, Cala Carbón ...
Enjoy these unique European beaches and its magic surroundings, full of history, stories and secret corners!
