We will ask you a series of questions and you can win the gold, silver or bronze medal depending on how many you get right. You will also be able to share the result with your friends and find out which are some of the best beaches in Spain.
Correct! The beaches and ports of Spain have maintained their international leadership since 1987. This means that at many places along the coast you can find beaches that comply with a series of environmental, educational, safety and accessibility criteria. Bathing at them is a complete pleasure.
Correct! It is one of the most unusual beaches in Asturias as the sea makes its way here under the cliffs, creating an inland beach around 40 metres long. You'll find it in Llanes. It has been declared a Natural Monument and you can only reach it via a tractor track. You’re sure to find it incredible.
Correct! Baelo Claudia was a prosperous coastal town during the age of the Roman Empire. You will marvel at the ruins of this ancient city which sits on the shore of the sea. And you can also take a dip at this four-kilometre-long paradise beach famous for its dunes.
Correct! Close to Ribadeo (Lugo) you can find this spectacular beach with arches formed by the sea standing up to 30 metres high, which you can walk through at low tide. According to the time of year, you will need to book to visit it.
Correct! It is an impressive route along the coast between Zumaia and Deba (Guipuzkoa, Basque Country). The rock strata in the cliffs has become exposed and show the keys to some of the most significant events in the Earth’s recent history, such as the extinction of the dinosaurs. You can travel this route by boat with an expert guide and visit some of the region’s coastal towns.
Correct! The Bond girl appears on this iconic Andalusian beach which is framed by two castles. A must-visit on a trip to Cádiz.
Correct! On the Canary Islands you will find black sand beaches (of volcanic origin), golden sand beaches and unique places such as this lake, coloured bright green by its high sulphur content, contrasting with the black sand and brown mountains at this pretty beach. It is several metres deep and the water filters through from the sea. A great place to take photos.
Correct! These famous coves on the island of Menorca are a fine example of what you can expect to find in the Balearic Islands, with water so clear it looks like the boats are floating on air.
Correct! The beach at Orellana La Vieja reservoir is perfect for water sports, such as windsurfing, sailing and canoeing, even though it is hundreds of kilometres from the sea. In fact, there are many natural pools in this area of Spain.
Correct! In Portlligat (close to Cadaqués) you can find the Salvador Dalí House-Museum, full of the artist's personal objects. Cadaqués is on the Costa Brava in Catalonia, which is home to many charming coastal towns and villages.
