Latest reviews on Castile and León's beaches

Embarcadero Beach
10 Zorin

This beach is stunning and peaceful.

Playa de los Enanos
10 Ramon Silva Hernandez

We had a meal at the beach bar run by the dwarves. The food was excellent and the service was extremely attentive. The beach itself is fantastic, with crystal clear water and an abundance of fish. The beach bar, situated right on the sand, is also top-notch, providing exceptional service and being well-equipped.

Playa Pita
6 Lysander Thorne

This beach could be enjoyable during the summer if you stay away from the crowded areas.

Playa Embalse del Ebro
10 Liam Haskins

This place is absolutely amazing, providing a breathtaking alternative to the coast and perfect for swimming as well.

Kitesurf spot Embalse del Ebro
8 Sylvana

Our kite instructors were fantastic. Their mastery of kitesurfing is evident, and it's clear that they have been teaching for a considerable amount of time. Plus, their patience seems to be endless! If you're new to sports like ours, I highly recommend taking individual classes. However, you might miss out on a lot since the instructor will be focused on your partner half of the time. On the other hand, when it comes to constructive feedback, it's important to use different words if something isn't understood. Otherwise, it becomes a repetitive cycle without any progress. Overall, it has been an amazing experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend it!

There are few offers for accommodation in the beach area, so finding a suitable place to stay can be a problem. You can use the map search to get more information about this.
