Beautiful beaches, great atmosphere, a wide range of services… Andalusia has undoubtedly become one of the best sun and beach tourist destinations in Spain.
And if not, just tell that to the holidaymakers who every year repeat a few days of fun and relaxation on the beach of Matalascañas, in Huelva.
It is an extensive stretch of sand more than 4 kilometres long and some 40 metres wide, which has already deservedly won the Blue Flag awarded by the European Union to the beaches with the best conditions for tourism in Europe.
This beach on the Costa de la Luz offers fine golden sand and fresh, clean waters, all surrounded by a promenade where you will find practically everything. Despite the overcrowding of the surrounding buildings you will find a very natural environment relatively close to the area, as beyond the village stretch more than 40 kilometres of secluded beaches and pine forests of the Doñana National Park.
Matalascañas is a fully-fledged urban beach, possibly too crowded for those who are looking for a place where they can feel unique and special. However, if you’re the more practical type, you’ll feel right at home here, as you won’t miss a single amenity or service on the beach or in the surrounding village; as well as accommodation to suit all budgets, there are plenty of bars, restaurants, small shops and nightclubs.
The beach is easily recognisable so that you can’t easily confuse it or forget it, as a huge rock stands at the foot of the shore to become the most curious and characteristic feature of the area.
If you are one of those who love routes to get to know different towns and provinces, you are in luck, because Matalascañas is the closest beach in Huelva to the salty city of Seville.
