The Best Beaches in Spain

Spain is located on the Iberian Peninsula in the South Western part of Europe. It is considered to be Europe's second largest country. There are many different climates in Spain, so much so that they had to divide the climates in to five different categories, which are Subtropical climate, Oceanic climate, Mediterranean climate, Continental Mediterranean climate, and Semiarid climate. Some climates may be more arid than other climates, and other places may experience more rain fall, and colder climates, while others will have continuous sunshine. Spain is also home to some of the best beaches in the world. In Italian, Spain means "land of the setting sun," that is a befitting statement for beaches that are known to have some of the most spectacular crescent sunsets ever seen on earth.
