Where to go in Spain

15 replies

me and dh would like to go somewhere in Spain. We'd like beautiful sandy beaches, a nice town to go out in the evening but not a clubbers paradise. I've been looking but the more I research the more confused I feel! Menorca looked perfect but I'm not sure if it will be too quiet. I've just read that fuerteventura is soulless. Please give me your recommendations! Thanks

Lanzarote is my favourite canary island. Majorca is my favourite Balearic.
Sevilla is my favourite city
Valencia, Malaga and Barcelona all have nice beaches

Javea looks lovely but does it have nice beaches? Google says you need to wear beach shoes...

Conil de la Frontera. Sandy beaches, town lively enough but not extreme.

Have a look at Alicante and surrounding areas, lots of lights to choose from, El Campello is nice also Villa Joyosa, Altea, Calpe, Gran Alicant.A bit further up the coast is Denia, Javea and Moraira.

Estepona about an hour down the coast from Malaga is lovely.

Also, Santa Eulalia in Ibiza.

Estepona, huge sandy beach, great coastal walking path, low rise development, charming old town with some excellent restaurants. not a nightclubbing place.

Nerja is really lovely and in easy reach of Malaga

Depends how touristy or expensive you like. I love Pals beach in Catalonia, big sandy stretch, quiet, lovely medieval villages nearby - need a car.
PP said Conil, agree with that but can be v windy on that Atlantic coast.

Menorca is lovely, quieter than Mallorca which I didn't like much. On the mainland, we went to a little place called Cala de Mijas on the costa del sol which was lovely too, not noisy, not too crowded.
