Castilla beach, Huelva
During the time of the Reconquista, this was the first beach in the Kingdom of Castile that was bathed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, hence its name. This is the longest beach in Spain, with 17 kilometres of fine golden sand. It also stands out as it’s completely unspoilt: there are no facilities at all, but the wonderfully wild natural setting provides more than enough compensation. If you want to enjoy the sea in peace and tranquillity, then this is the place for you.

This beautiful unspoilt beach is almost 14 kilometres long.

It’s not so easy to reach and it takes some time to get there, but if you think of it as an excursion the reward waiting at the end makes it well worth the effort. Here you can enjoy spectacular scenery, the massif rises over 800 metres above sea level, creating an unforgettable panorama that you’ll always remember.
