Simancas - all beaches

This location is uniquely recognizable from the fantastic TV series Foundation. However, what makes it even more fascinating is its rich history. We later stumbled upon some intriguing old photographs of the area, which piqued our curiosity even further and inspired us to delve deeper into its past.

Stony Beach was a letdown. The swimming pool was closed, leaving nothing to do but sit and stare at the sea. It was a waste of time and money, and I wouldn't recommend it.

Playa de la Caleta has all the amenities you could need, but the waves and large boulders make it a bit too wild for swimming. The views of Tenwriy and Teide are great, but the sea is often too choppy. Access is not too difficult, but the 4 km of winding roads with plenty of inclines can be a bit of a challenge. Toilet facilities are clean, though the beach bar is closed. There's also a recreational area with tables and chairs, as well as a hermitage. All in all, it's a great spot for sightseeing, but not ideal for swimming.

This stony beach offers a wild sea and spectacular cliffs to admire. For those looking for a place to stay, there is a nice pension and restaurant. Unfortunately, the waters are too dangerous for swimming, unless you're feeling a bit daring. Plus, it's easy to access, making it a great spot to visit.

Perfect spot to unwind and take in the stunning views. It's quite secluded and the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle. Unfortunately, swimming is difficult due to the large rocks in the water and on the shore. But it's still a great spot to relax and soak up the sun.

This spot is a paradise! The white sand and crystal-clear waters make it a perfect spot for a getaway. Even in the high season, it remains relatively deserted, making it an ideal place to relax and unwind.
