12 Best Beach Towns in Spain

"Three hours north of Barcelona near the French border, this enchanting seaside village is set within the rugged Cap de Creus Natural Park and is famous for its ties to Salvador Dalí—visiting the artist’s home is a key attraction. The town’s dark cobblestone streets and whitewashed buildings create a romantic atmosphere, dining options include Compartir (the sister restaurant of Disfrutar), and the best way to explore the area is by boat to reach numerous small coves and beaches that are otherwise inaccessible." - Jamie Ditaranto Jamie Ditaranto Jamie Ditaranto is a Brazilian-American journalist who has traveled to all seven continents in search of the best trip ever.
