It’s a stunningly beautiful area comprised of an expansive bay, surrounding mountains, and a small-town feel, and if you’re simply looking for a getaway in an unrivaled peaceful setting, it should definitely be on your list. Of the Mediterranean islands and seaside destinations attached to Spain, a small handful get the most attention: the renowned party island of Ibiza, the British-controlled peninsula of Gibraltar, and the city of Barcelona, for instance. It doesn’t have the all-night clubs of Ibiza or the cultural impact of Barcelona, but it does have some of the best beaches on Earth, with clean, warm waters, white sandy beaches and relatively small crowds. It can feel like perhaps the most “natural” destination on this list, but it’s also sort of like two destinations in one – because you can only get there by taking a ferry from Ibiza, just to the north!
