THE DEFINITIVE LIST OF THE BEST BEACH BARS IN SPAIN
Why does every summer advertisement feature a beach, a boat or a terrace? The common element is evident: the sea. The closer we are to the sea the happier we are. This year we need it more than ever, we never stop dreaming of spending an afternoon at the beach and doing what we like the most. And is there anything better than at dusk to pick up the towel and go up to the beach bar?
Sitting in front of the sea and savoring the first drink of cold beer makes us want to stop time. What would you give to stop what you are doing right now and catch a plane to the beach, where you can relax looking at the sea with good company? In Spain we have very different coastal areas and, therefore, beach bars of very varied styles. As we like to offer you only the best of the best, we have done a good study to bring you what you deserve: the definitive list of the best beach bars. From chiringuitos chill out along the Andalusian coast, chiringuitos/bars along the Mediterranean to places with a special charm in the north. Difficult to stay with one…
