7. Ballota beach, Llanes, Asturias
Unlike many beaches in Asturias, Ballota Beach isn't easily accessible. You'll need to take a long, winding track from the main road near the village, adding to the feeling of discovery. This also means this beach, which has a mix of pebbles and coarse sand, is typically less crowded compared to other spots in the area.
