Enjoy the coast in spring
As Easter approaches, the coasts of Spain and Portugal begin to awaken from their winter slumber, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, ideal for enjoying the beauty of the sea and ocean before the hustle and bustle of summer.
In this post we’d like to highlight five great beaches to visit during Easter:
1. Bolonia Beach, in Tarifa
With its impressive sand dunes and views of the Strait of Gibraltar, Bolonia Beach is a perfect place to enjoy spring on the Andalusian coast. The water may be a bit chilly, but the natural surroundings and the Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia make the visit worthwhile.
