Best Beaches in Spain

Love´em or hate´em TripAdvisor has a huge audience and some note has to be taken of the fact that so many people vote for their lists. Spain has two beaches on the TripAdvisor 2013 Top 35 Beaches in the World list.

Spain´s Best Beaches as voted on TripAdvisor are:

Playa de las Catedrales in Ribadeo on the Asturias/Galicia border on the northern coastline

Playa de ses Illetes in Formentera, one of the Balearic Islands

Twelfth on the list - Tripadvisor comment -
You have the sea on both sides, which makes it unique. The views are amazing. The water is crystal clear.
