Magical sunsets in Atlanterra—the family beach of Zahara de los Atunes
In the beautiful fishing village of Zahara de los Atunes, you can walk for miles on white sand while the Atlantic caresses your feet. On Las Arenas beach, you will find all the imaginable facilities you would need for a day at the beach and wooden walkways to easily access the shore with a baby carriage or wheelchair.
When the sun begins to set, the best place to enjoy the range of colours the sunset has to offer is at the beach bar, La Lola. Ask for a refreshing gazpacho, the famous Almadraba bluefin tuna or a fish fry and you will discover the very best of Andalusian flavour.

Los Muertos—one of the best beaches in Andalusia
The entire environment surrounding the Natural Park of Cabo de Gata-Níjar is wonderful, but its beauty is especially evident on the beach of Los Muertos, near the municipality of Carboneras, Almería. The most striking part of this beach is the rock formations that dot the landscape, in addition to the turquoise colour of its waters.
