User reviews
"This beach near Barbate is far from being a paradise. The sand is clean, but there's limited space and not many amenities during the off season. It might be suitable for families with small children, but don't expect too much. There are a few restaurants and bars, but not many. If you're looking for something special, this isn't the place to go."
Veronique Viaene
"Great, but don't expect to find parking easily - it's always a challenge! The pedestrian-only road is a bonus, though, with lots of restaurants to choose from. All in all, it's a great spot - just bring your walking shoes!"
