 <\/p>\n

For a summer vacation, there\u2019s no shortage of European beach destinations to soak up the sun. From the Greek Isles to the French riviera, there are a plethora of quiet towns and bustling seaside cities for your getaway. But for us, there\u2019s nothing like the beaches in Spain<\/a><\/span>. Perhaps it\u2019s the custom of an afternoon siesta or the promise of cold sangria at every beachside cafe, but we think Spain is the perfect spot for a beach holiday. To help narrow down your choices, though, we\u2019ve chosen our favorite top 5 best Spanish beach holidays.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ibiza<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ibiza<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ll admit, Ibiza is not for everyone. This incredibly iconic party island is expensive, loud and crowded. But if you\u2019re looking to party till sunrise (and way past it), then this is your island. With some of the world\u2019s best clubs attracting the world\u2019s best DJs and musicians, you\u2019ll find yourself with plenty of options for nightlife. And if you do need a day away from the madness, there are plenty of things to do in Ibiza besides partying<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

You can rent a car in Ibiza<\/a><\/span> to get outside the tourist zone and see some of the quieter and less touristy attractions. Check out the museums for a slice of the local culture or one of the many restaurants in Ibiza town. And if you just want to zone out for a couple hours, find one of the secluded beaches perfect for a nap before the party starts again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Menorca<\/h2>\n

One of Spain\u2019s beautiful Baearic islands in the Mediterranean, Menorca is a good alternative to it\u2019s busy neighboring islands of Ibiza and Mallorca. Much less party-centric than its neighbors, this island is popular with families on holiday. The calm waters on many of its beaches lend well to slow afternoons lazing about on the warm sand, occasionally dipping a toe in the clear blue waves. Cala Macarella<\/a> and Macarelleta are two favorite beaches known for their soft white sand and picturesque views.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cies<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cies Islands<\/h2>\n

For something a little more off the beaten track, the islands of the Galician coast in Northwest Spain offer a quieter, but equally beautiful set of beaches. The Cies Islands<\/a><\/span> are known as the \u201cGalician Caribbean\u201d for their white sand and turquoise waters, but don\u2019t expect the same warm water of the Caribbean<\/a><\/span> – it\u2019s still the chilly Atlantic. And if you need a break from the beach, there are plenty of mountains and lakes perfect for hiking in the area.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Monsul Beach<\/h2>\n

Monsul in Spain\u2019s southern state of Andalusia is located in the Cabo de Gata-N\u00edjar<\/span> Nature Park<\/span>. T<\/span>his land was protected by its owner, an environmentalist who passed away in 2014. The park is still protected from development and it\u2019s no wonder why. It\u2019s dramatic landscape filled with sand dunes and volcanic rock gives way to pristine beach. Monsul was dubbed \u201cthe best beach in Spain\u2019\u2019 by Steven Spielberg when he filmed an iconic scene from Indiana Jones here. Today the beach is popular with locals and travelers who have done a little research to get off the beaten track.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"San<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

San Sebastian<\/h2>\n

This stunning beach in northern Spain is located in Pais Vasco, or Basque Country. The Basque have their own language, food and culture, and it is absolutely worth visiting to experience all three. In addition to this, it has one of the most gorgeous coastlines we\u2019ve ever seen. San Sebastian is a big city on the water with plenty to do. You can stroll the waterfront and then spend the afternoon eating and shopping in the city. But don\u2019t stop at just San Sebastian. We recommend road tripping the whole Northern coast<\/a><\/span> to explore lesser known gems like Zarautz, a lovely little beach town just 15 mins from the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[703],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n5 Best Spanish Beach Holidays | Don't Forget To Move<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Looking for the perfect summer getaway?
