Playa de la Ballena is an absolute wonder! It's miles of white sand, with easy access and free parking starting from September 1. Even at low tide, there's not a single stone in sight. And, despite its grandeur, there's never any overcrowding - even during peak season. Truly, a marvel!

That place is picturesque, yet not suitable for swimming due to its rocky terrain and choppy waves.

This place is expansive and wide, with plenty of room to stretch out and relax. Whether you're looking for a spot to lay out and soak up the sun, or just want to take a leisurely stroll along the shore, this beach has you covered.

This spot is an ideal spot to unwind. The sand is immaculate and the temperature is perfect for a day of relaxation. It's the perfect place to soak up the sun and enjoy the tranquility of the ocean.
